One of the things I have the privalege to do is have coffee with youth pastors in our city. I do this for four main reasons. The first, is to foster a friendship. Second, is to help build a bridge of relationship between YWAM and local youth pastors and churches. Third, is to pray with them, network with them, and get more familiar with what is going on in our city with youth groups. And the fourth reason, is to see through our relationship, kids eventually come do a missions trip with Mission Adventures. Why? Because short term mission trips changes lives. That's the end goal of these many cups of coffee I have with youth pastors.....friendships forged, bridges built, and youth sent on missions trips. All from a cup of coffee. The above picture is of a good friend of mine who is a youth pastor of a small Baptist church here in Salem. This summer, he is taking some of his high schoolers to Colombia, and then they are returning to Salem to do a local missions trip to Salem through Mission Adventures. Awesome.
