National Youth Workers Convention – Part 1

Disclaimer – I am extremely tired while writing this

WOW!  I have been so busy that this is my first chance to write about all that has happened so far at the National Youth Workers Convention here in Pittsburgh! Here is a quick little run down of what I have done so far, I am sure I’ll find the time to write more in depth after the Convention though.

Friday:

Saw

• Mike Pilavachi from Soul Survivor
• Margaret Feinberg
• Andrew Marin
• Soong-Chun Rah

Margaret, Andrew, and Soong-Chan were part of a unique session format in which each speaker had an 18 minute window to communicate their message and then a short time to answer some questions that had been texted in.  After this session each speaker was available in a seminar room for a “talk back” session, basically a Q & A session.  

I decided to attend Andrew Marin’s “talk back.”  Man!  This guy is passionate about what his work in the Kingdom!  Andrew works specifically with the gay and lesbian community and is shaving some awesome stuff happen around him.  I bet there is a ton you could learn from just watching what he is doing, I know I can!
