Monte Cyr, Caribbean Regional Youth Coordinator
Greetings from Israel!  I know these aren’t my usual stomping grounds of the Caribbean. :o)  I’m writing this from the Global Youth Ministry Summit – a gathering of Nazarene Youth Leaders from various areas of the world.  We’ve come together to be stretched—stretched by God, by fellow believers, by unbelievers, by Middle Eastern culture, and by each other.

I have to admit, I have not always been one to use the NYI Ministry plan (s).  The language and format seemed confusing and I thought that it was too formal, too rigid, and I could do more authentic ministry without it.  Yet, as I have looked back over it with some friends and thought about it, I have begun to change my attitude. One of the things that I have come to appreciate more and more is the formation of a council.  While there is a formal leader, the council is there to discuss, decide, and share the load of ministry.  Not only is it not smart to try to do ministry by oneself, it is not biblical.

Dave Curtiss, USA/Canada Regional Youth Coordinator
God is moving in the hearts and lives of young people and leaders all across the United States and Canada. The clearest example is the lasting effects of the Nazarene Youth Conference 2007 – Water Fire Wind in St. Louis, Missouri in the United States. We continue to receive reports of God changing lives and Churches through His movement in lives at NYC. Read more.

Brian Woolery, Asia-Pacific Regional Youth Coordinator
After the Philippines NYC last April, God seemed to open the doors to gather the District Presidents to discuss NYI and ministry to Youth. It was the wise comment of a Filipino leader who suggested, "Why not include the District Superintendents in these meetings and discussions?" This simple suggestion had a profound impact upon all that happened in our time together, and God also used it to begin to really speak to my heart. Read more.
