Come church leaders, parents, and youth leaders: registration is now open for the International Conference of Youth and Family Ministry! The ICYFM will take place in Chicago, Illinois April 16-19, 2009. The theme of the conference is "Legacy of Faith: You Gotta Live It 2 Give It!" Please start making plans now to be a part of this life-changing weekend. Early registration ends February 28. Click here to register today.

We are very excited to announce the 2009 ICYFM (International Conference of Youth & Family Ministry) in the Windy City! Church leaders, parents, and youth leaders will gather from around the world to inspire one another to share a legacy of faith with the next generation.

The "Legacy of Faith" theme was inspired by our dear friend and brother, Dan Rice, who passed away suddenly this past June. Shortly before his death, Dan led a youth camp entitled “Legacy”. Dan embodied the qualities that we are so desperately trying to pass on. Although Dan is not with us physically, his legacy remains in so many young people that he inspired to love God.

In this conference we will encourage elders, evangelists, parents and youth workers to be great examples of faith for the next generation to emulate.

To register and get more information, please log on to our new youth and family ministry website, www.liveit2giveit.org.

The website features valuable spiritual resources for parents, youth leaders, and teenagers such as family devotionals, lessons, and teen quiet times. The site will also provide information about teen camps, youth and family conferences, and good news about our teens from around the kingdom.

We believe the address says so much about what we need to do to pass our faith to the next generation: "You gotta live it 2 give it!" www.liveit2giveit.org
