“The ‘SOURCE is an opportunity to gather with other adult workers in ministry with young people to network, gain inspiration, share resources and worship,” says Bill Lizor, director of Young Adult and Single Adult Ministries and one of the workshop leaders.

The ‘SOURCE is a resource for ministry, a source of training, which connects participants with “The Source” who is God in Christ.

According to Julie O’Neal, a manager with Young People’s Ministries, “The ‘SOURCE 2008 provides a context to learn about leadership and how to examine our own styles of leadership in our settings with youth and young adults.”

“In small and large group experiences, participants will interact with GBOD staff in Young People’s Ministries and colleagues in settings near them. Whether you work with youth, young adults or both,” says O’Neal, “The ‘SOURCE is not to be missed!”

GBOD staffers will facilitate the sessions, which include: worship, a plenary on “Leadership: The Big Picture,” snapshot sessions and closing worship. A list of workshops is available on the Web site.
