Spring time is coming


Who is excited that pitchers and catchers report this week?
If you don't know what that means, its ok here ya go;
Spring Training is starting for baseball

If you live in the north you understand that anything with the word spring in it is a good sign; especially when temperatures are in the single digits today in Ambridge, PA.

As spring time approaches we are preparing for our 5th summer of ministry to the youth in Ambridge. Five years is a long time and its crazy to me to remember that all of this started from an idea we had in the summer of 2003.

I wanted to let you guys know that we are changing our name to
Ambridge Youth Ignite
(because we are becoming so much more than a camp). We'll have a new web-site in a few days called www.ambridgeyouthignite.org

This is a really exciting time for us and we are really happy to see things moving, Shea and I truly believe that this is why we are here in Ambridge to push this ministry into the school year and continue the relationships that were created during the summer.

With that I have been meeting with two youth each week, in effort to start a mentoring relationship with them. We are studying the book of Nehemiah, we eat together and we pray together; its a lot of fun.

We are starting to recruit summer staff, if you know anyone who would be interested in helping us out this summer please e-mail me at ambridgeyouthignite@yahoo.com.
