2014 Pentecost Offering<\/h2>\n

\"\"Earlier this year, I had a unique opportunity to spend a couple of days in Atlanta, Georgia visiting with some incredible individuals that have dedicated themselves to sharing Christ’s love with others. <\/p>\n

The first stop on my trip was Columbia Theological Seminary, the hosting site of the 2014 Big Ideas Conference, an annual event for youth workers from all over the PC(USA). As part of that experience, I was able to sit down with some Presbyterian Youth Workers’ Association <\/a>(PYWA) members to get a better understanding of how their organization helps to encourage and support those who, like themselves, are called into youth ministry, and how it will benefit from gifts made to this year’s Pentecost Offering. <\/p>\n

So, if you want to know how a gift made to the Pentecost Offering can directly affect the vitality of  the church as a whole, please take a few minutes watch the video below.<\/strong> <\/p>\n
