2nd Annual Christian Youth Leadership Summit
Bend, Oregon, May 29 - 30
Trinity Lutheran Church & School
2550 NE Butler Market Rd.
What an incredible weekend!
God moved in awesome ways. People were touched, inspired, and transformed by the presence of Christ. Some of the feedback we got: "My son was fired up, and loved the teachings." "All the speakers were incredible." "Every Christian adult needs to go through this as well. What a wealth of biblical teachings." "I wish I had something like this to go to when I was a teen." "I want to bring this event to the Portland area." "We've got to get more people to come and hear all this stuff. This is incredible!" "Fire Up!"
I'll get more information out later. Thank you to all who came, volunteered, and helped to put this event on.
Mission:
Fire-up Christian young adults in the Truth and empower them to be leaders in transforming our culture for Christ.
Target audience:
Christian young adults ranging from high school through college age. (Adults welcome)
Motivation:
• We are losing our youth to secularism at a higher rate than ever before in our nation’s history. Barna research has found that only 5% of Christian teenagers have a Biblical worldview.
• The Council on Family Life did a study revealing that 88% of children raised in evangelical homes leave church at the age of 18 and do not return.
• The next generation has been so influenced by post-modernism, which has progressively been woven into the fabric of our society, that they often cannot even decipher between a secular humanist and Biblical worldview.
