Called, but underfunded. Impassioned, and hungry for more. Broke, and feeling alone. How do bi-vocational youth workers pay the bills and buy the stuff necessary to get the job done? Jesus received one recorded offering in his career. The disciples didn't get it. The masses were confused. But a boy with a bagged lunch understood, and his tuna fish sandwich fed 5,000. A husband's debts nearly cost a widow her son’s freedom. The prophet's response: “What's in your hand?” A few drops of oil and a town full of jars later, she bought their freedom. Let's explore how to turn tuna fish and empty bottles into resources for urban ministry.

There’s no doubt that if you’re in ministry, organizing your time and programs while building a team becomes more challenging each week. What if you had a model to help you focus your efforts and even help you evaluate your ministry’s effectiveness? This workshop will help you organize your ministry so that your activities are aligned for Kingdom impact.

Do you ever look at the pain and trauma your kids experience and wonder HOW they are making it? Whether kids hide their pain or make it obvious, as an urban youth worker, you are loving and serving traumatized kids every week. This workshop will help you recognize the symptoms of trauma, respond through a research-based plan called “The 3 Rs,” and develop practical ideas that you and your team can provide for the kids and families in your community.
