Synergy surrounds Disciples youth ministry strategy
"We came together to work for God, and God truly blessed our endeavors," 
said JoHannah Hamilton, from Burleson, Texas, and moderator for the General 
Youth Council.

"I've never seen such synergy in one place. It was simply wonderful," said 
an excited Jane Lawrence, youth liaison and executive vice president, 
Disciples Home Missions.

These are the words describing a recent gathering of the General Youth 
Council and the Youth Ministry Commission. January 8-10, several Disciples 
high school youth and adults came together from around the United States 
and Canada to discuss the future of youth ministries for the denomination. 
The outcome? Concrete plans for how the two groups can work together and 
more importantly, how youth ministries across the denomination can receive 
support. For the complete story from Disciples Home Mission, go to:
