Hello everyone, this is ‘Youth Yaks’
This blog will focus on information and random thoughts concerning our youth and the world they live in. Whether it is your two year toddler or that High School graduate, we want to talk about it.
This year marks my 30th year in children’s ministries from youth groups, to cell groups, to clubs, to missions, to Sunday school, to teaching first grade up to seniors. What I realize more than ever after three decades is how I need to rely on God for the answers and not search in another book. I truly believe that most of our youth that struggle do so because the adults in their lives have made compromises of some sort. Though these kids are responsible for their own thoughts and actions, they are greatly influenced by those mentoring and discipling them, whether good or bad.
This blog is not here just for the grownups but the youth are welcome to share as well.

i was wondering why we don’t have family camp anymore? our family was only able to go once, and we loved it.
Hey Kevin!
What an awesome time at Kamp Alotta Funna!! You all out there sure missed it if you didn’t get to go. There was never a boring moment. We swam at Banbury’s, roasted hot dogs and made smores, worshiped around the campfire, played games, slept under the stars, ate breakfast, worshiped again, heard an awesome message, oh and even did a craft. I’m tellin ya, ya’ll missed out!
Kevin,
That is so true. Youth are truly influenced by their mentors and parents. My mom never took me to church, nor did she know anything about the Word besides, Jesus loves you, and he will always take care of you. Because that was my only influence and I never had the chance to be taken under someones wing to teach me the Word of God. So I came up with my own thoughts: God is evil that we would live in times of evil, we could not have come from one man, we were put here by a being maybe not God but another being.
Once I knew I had a child growing inside of me the Lord spoke to me. My soul yearned for truth and guidance for the child I would be responsible for bringing into this world. I knew that I needed to rely on a maker. I knew that maker must be Jesus because my mom referred to him when I was a kid. So I trusted my mother, she influenced me in that way. Thank God he worked even the smallest bit of influence in her life so that I could influence my child’s life. Avalon is now 4 and she loves Jesus, she prays at night, she loves the church and she is a good kid because of Him. I pray the Lord will continue to influence my life so she too would be influenced for The Kingdom.

Pastor Kevin,
Congratulations on 30 years! I didn’t even know that you were that old yet! It must be keeping up with all of those kids that keeps you looking and acting so young!
Thank you for your ministry I have been the recipient of the blessings that you share with us through God’s word. I do have to admit that I was somewhat nervous when you stood up to teach God’s word while using the first grade picture bible but I was truly blessed when you shared with us.
God Bless and Thank you!

God bless p.s. remember if i was not a christian and i was not yor brother in Christ you would hate me.
Hey Kevin,
You nailed it ! Grown ups need to be reminded that they are huge influences in the exceptance of activities and behavior of our youth.
Some of these things are also passed on from generation to generation. Out with the bad and in with the good.
God bless you Kevin for your influence.

I don’t think he’ll make any money in a mutual fund if he only has a few months to trade. Have him learn about earnings and trade around earnings reports, I think he’ll either hit or miss but thats a fun way to live “Go big or go home.”
