I am extremely excited about the ignition youth conference this year! My life was radically changed by an encounter I had with God when I was a freshmen in High School. All of our youth leaders and volunteers have been significantly impacted by encounters they had with God at youth conferences and on mission trips. This is not a theoretical conference, this is the real deal. Nothing is more important than having a personal revelation of Jesus Christ. Nothing.

We have an amazing speaker, Joel Wells, coming in to do the majority of the sessions. Joel is a great friend of mine and incredibly gifted in communicating and connecting with youth. In addition to hearing from Joel, you will hear from other youth and youth leaders during revolving door sessions and the Saturday breakout sessions. The sessions are very high energy and include impacting worship time, funny videos, youth testimonies, dramas, dances, teaching and ministry time.

Whether you are exploring Christianity, new in Christ, or close to Christ, Ignition 10 will have something for you! This is my seventh year planning Ignition. I would not continue to do this if it was only an event. On the contrary, I have the privilege of seeing & hearing first hand the impact of God on young people’s lives. After all, this is not just a religious event, this is real life. I am excited to encounter God together at Ignition 10! Grab your bags – it’s on!
