Where we are going in 2010

God has given us several new opportunities in 2010!

This coming January 2010, Ambridge Youth Ignite is sending a team to Lima, Peru. The team will work along side a team of Peruvians to provide a one week sports and arts camp for the youth who live near San Mateo, a church in Lima. The one week camp will be used as a launching point for a new youth ministry to take shape at San Mateo.

In April of 2010, our leadership team has also been invited to lead the middle schoolers at New Wineskins. This age group has been overlooked in the past and the organizers desire for us to create a mini-missions conference for the students.

This summer we will hold our 7th Sports and Arts Camp. The camp will continue to be our catalyst in serving and connecting with the community as we try and reach more youth with the love of Christ.

The three leaders who started the fall arts classes are all hoping to continue them during the spring and we maybe adding several more. We also hope to connect with a specific sport in the spring in an effort to connect more youth with Ambridge Youth Ignite during the school year.

Our discipleship groups will continue to meet every week during the school year. Our hope is that through the discipleship groups as well as the Ambridge Sports and Arts Camp and the Peru trip that we will see more and more high school leaders stepping up to lead us into the future.

It is truly amazing to me to look at the leaders who are heading up our new arts classes and our girls' discipleship group and see that none of them are mine. God has brought new leaders and planted dreams in their hearts, and they are stepping out in faith to show the youth of Ambridge the love of Christ through sports and arts.
