Reviewing the Allies Conference 2008
September 8, 2008
Thank you all for being a part of the Allies Conference last month! All of us in Allies had a blast hanging out with you all and discussing youth ministry.
Next year: August 22, 2009
Allies decided that we will be doing this conference again next year on August 22, 2009. Mark it on your calendars!
Changes for next year
But, based on your evaluations and input, we’ll be doing it a bit differently. Here are some changes you can expect:
- We will start at 9:00 AM and end a bit earlier, around 3:00 or 3:30 PM.
- Cookies will be added to the menu!
- Now that we’ve done it once, Allies will push the RSVP and ramp up the advertising and publicity, especially in local areas.
- There will be an additional cost at the door to encourage RSVP and online registrations.
- A video team will be in place to record each session and archive later on our website.
- There will be training on engaging parenting class in the spiritual lives of their teens.
- We will sit no longer than 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes in one area.
- Breakout sessions will be expanded and integrated more intentionally.

Weekly LIVE Youth Ministry Conversations online
Also, as reminder, if you’re free on Fridays at 1:00 PM and looking for a way to regularly talk with other youth workers, check out the LIVE Youth Ministry Conversations. It’s free to participate and easy to join in, either via chat or calling in with your telephone. Last week we discussed “Evaluating the spiritual depth of our youth ministries,” which was actually very convicting. This Friday we have a special guest from Word of Life Ministries in New York who will give us both practical and educational training on “Working with students who suffer from depression and eating disorders.”
God bless you all for your investment into the Kingdom! If Allies can serve you in any way, please do not hesitate to ask. We’d love to partner with you however we can.
P.S. Videos of the sessions and workshops will be available here in a couple weeks.
