Global Youth Initiative: Israel 2008 Summit

Recognized as a program with a strong emphasis and involvement in intercultural youth ministry, the department of Youth Ministry & Adolescent Studies was invited to take a group of students and staff to participate in Global Youth Initiative’s Israel 2008 Summit. With over 230 youth leaders from 50+ countries, this was an amazing opportunity to learn about youth ministry as well as to explore the Holy Land. Daily activities included sessions from GYI leaders, breakout sessions where we learned about what God is doing among youth around the world, tours of historical locations from the life of Jesus, and much informal interaction with people from around the world with a heart for youth.
