Teen Mission Notes (September, 2009)

The fall is here. The month of September went by very fast.
Here's a look back at what happened concerning Teen Mission during the month:

STEWARD LEADERSHIP SUMMIT (Sept 22-25)
The highlight of the month was attending a conference in Denver, CO, put on by the Christian Leadership Alliance. This summit strives to provide Christian nonprofit leaders with insights and expertise to develop fundraising programs that excel in challenging times. It also provides in-depth training to equip attendees to effectively build resources, both people and finances, for ministry.
I had two classes: Development 101 and Development & the CEO/Board of Directors. The classes and the instructors were both excellent. I felt I learned a lot and have some more tools for effective ministry.
I say thanks again to David Empson (Director of the National Missionary Convention) for inviting me.

FALL BANQUET (10.15.09)
Work on the fall banquet continued during the month of September. The banquet was held last Thursday (Oct 15th). You can read more about the banquet on the next post.

2010 MISSION JOURNEYS
Work on next year's mission trips continued as well.The Mission Journeys web site, www.missionjourneys.org, has been updated and has a tentative 2010 list posted.
We decided to do a 9" x 6" card to promote the 2010 Mission Journeys. We'll be mailing them to around 6,500 churches and individuals in mid-October.

In Him,
