Youth Engagement Sylvan Lake
I have enjoyed making supportive friendships with youth since I was in my late teens. In fact, when our kids grew up, we probably enjoyed their teen years the most! Carol and I have six children (who have mostly all left the nest) and have lived in 4 different communities while vocational pastoring in various churches. I really enjoyed leading Brandon, Manitoba's Thursday night YFC youth drop in for the past decade so I was delighted to discover the opportunity to partner with Incline Industries in Sylvan Lake. My approach to disciple-making has been to first make places where people can belong before they believe so being at Incline really fits. On my bucket list is to someday participate in a disciple-making, multiplying, Holy Spirit generating, house-church movement - but right now I am happy to be taking life one day at a time.
