The second reason I am excited about the National Youth Ministry Conference: To gain new ideas. While in ministry, it is rather easy to fall into a rut and to just keep the status quo. At the Conference, I look forward to hearing a ton of new and exciting ideas from people serving all over the nation. In fact, I look forward to learning so many ideas I cannot use/incorporate them all in my ministry. In that case, I look forward to bringing these ideas back to the other local youth ministers. That way, we can all work toward bringing more students to Christ.
