News Release: January 10, 2010
Jessi Marquez, World Race Contestant, New Zealand Mission.
"I truly believe one of the best things you can do as a Christian is to have the heart of a child.."
"We have only been in New Zealand for less than ONE WEEK. I think I am learning about community fast. One of the most important things I have learned about community is that you have to put others before yourself.
Community can create so many amazing things. You can grow with each other, share feelings and past experiences, laugh and dance, hold each other accountable, and have someone pushing you to be the best version of yourself."

Hi Tim,
I did Trust and Prayer with my youth group about a year ago and it was a great experience. The kids respond very well to visuals and illustrations that really display the truths that we talk about. I try hard to find things that will grab their attention, and this really did. It is still difficult to get them to pray aloud sometimes, and our group has changed a bit since then, but it was an awesome experience to see the light of the candles filling the room and how each person and each light and each prayer was important and meaningful.
Thanks for the great ideas!!

Challenge the Minds and Hearts of Young People" By N. Durgana (New York)
"I've been a Sunday School Teacher since 1998 and have assisted during many youth group activities. It is always a challenge to discover ideas that are fun, teach the gospel message and engage the imaginations of our young people... Not the Same Old, Done-it-Before Youth Meetings" does this. It has lots of fun activities but, much more importantly,
it addresses the need to challenge the minds and hearts of our young people."
