An Open Letter To Youth at Urban Reload: A Youth Ministry Conference

This past Saturday, I was invited to be the keynote speaker at Urban Reload, an urban youth workers training event sponsored by the Urban Youth Workers Institute. For the past couple of years it has been held at Mt. Pleasant Church and spearheaded by a great brother in the Lord, Min. LeVar Jones. He asked me to share on the issue of social justice – which of course as many of you know – is my consuming passion. However, the Lord led me to do something a little different. In the spirit of the Season of Lent, I wrote an Open Letter To The Youth, confessing “our” sins in youth ministry and recommitting ourselves to being true to the mission that God has called us to.
