The Call 2009 (Bump)

The Call is the only Purpose Driven Student Conference on the east coast.  Each year we focus our them on one of the 5 purposes.  This year we will zoom in on evangelism, sharing your faith.  Our theme verse is John 4:35.

Worship in music will be led by Exodus from Liberty University.  These guys were here last year and rocked.  They related great with the teenagers.  

We have a great line up of relevant break out sessions for both the students and youth leaders led by some of my best friends, we are bringing in 3 great youth pastors (and me) and my little nephew to lead some sessions.  

You can listen to a couple of last year's sessions here.

For the Students:

Following and Growing

The SHAPE of your Life

Your Mission Should You Choose to Accept it.

Plug In

For Youth Leaders:

Purpose Driven Youth Ministry

Campus Ministry

Do You Techno At All?

Engaging Students in Worship

Teaching Teenagers about God, Jesus and other Spiritual Stuff

In the past we have brought in a main session speaker to challenge the students.  This year since we flew in the talented and gifted to lead break outs we are letting them share.  I'll be delivering the message on Friday night about God's life changing love.  Saturday we will unpack John 4:35. 

Each year our church turns out in force to staff this event.  We have a great team of caring adults that show up to serve in registration, product sales, concessions, greeters, set-up and clean-up.  It is a fun time for the adults who don't usually serve in youth ministry to get involved in serving and rubbing elbows with the students.  Last year we had 300 from 27 different youth groups from 5 denominations.  I expect we will pack out again this year.  We only charge $25 to help cover the expenses and a couple of local hotels give groups a break on the price of rooms.

The purpose of this event is to challenge students and their leaders to live life on purpose.  My prayer is that we again see students trust Jesus Christ as their Savior this year as we have in past years.

If your youth group is close enough to come to The Call we would invite you to check it out, we even offer online registration.

Please lift up The Call in your prayers, we truly desire to see student's lives changed.
