I'm one of the members of the planning team for our denomination's Youth Evangelism Conference scheduled for December 27-30, 2009 in Nashville, Tennessee. We'll gather kids and sponsors from around the country for praise/worship, fun, relationship-building, servant evangelism, witness, and a Christian rock concert. Our theme this year is Wake Up!, taken from a verse in the New Testament Letter to the Romans: "The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed." [Rom.13:11]
Teens today are often quite open with their convictions -- perhaps more than adult believers. This event helps them focus their capacity to develop relationships, offering them the "safe environment" of small group interaction to explore their own faith and discover ways of assisting their friends who have little or no exposure to church life or Christian teaching.
