Mission Adventures Conference in Wisconsin
This is real life for me right now (photos on snowy trees). Aside from the physical snow outside, I feel like I am growing 'like' these trees. That as I am going through rough times now, they are pruning me so that I may grow taller and be stronger to withstand more - like unexpected 'blizzards' in April.
Somehow I always feel like this conference has been cattered to where I am in life. Maybe it's becuase it's a conference for youth workers in missions or maybe because we listen to God about what, how and when to do things.
This is now my 8th MA Conference and my desire to attend in future years has only grown. Being poured into is important and no matter what type of life you lead you can always grow. And that's why we prioritze this conference. Working with teenagers in missions might sound like we are simply running camp (which it isn't) or having fun all the time (which we are), however we are super intentional in discipling the youth that cross our path. We want to be ahead of the game on how to relate to every generation, how to use tech to reach people, how to serve peoples need the best way, and even how to train others on thinking through every detail (like where to park the van during ministry so that you don't get towed or have to carry the coolers far). We are in pursuit of excellence and raising up youth to share the gospel and attending conferences like this one is how we do that.
How do you pursure excellence in your passions and/or carrer?
