Todd Buegler - Friday, September 04, 2009
We're unveiling a new, "occasional" feature.  In an attempt to help folks get to know more about our Network leadership, we're going to introduce people!  It should be kind of fun! 

Today, we're introducing Jamie Travers!

1.  The part of youth ministry I like best is:  
        Sharing the Gospel with youth and families. 

2.  The part of youth ministry I struggle with most is:
 
        Finding enough time for everything

3.  My favorite ministry resources are:
 
        Books and resources about Family ministry.

4.  If I could have a super power it would be:
To have perfect aim, because I am not really good at sports, but I think it would be fun to always be able to make a basket or kick a goal or throw a ball or anything for any bit of distance and be able to always connect or hit the target perfectly every time.

5.  I take care of myself in ministry by:
 
        Making sure to spend time in prayer.

6.  I would tell someone just starting in ministry:
 
        to continue growing in faith, to continue to learn about ministry,Bible, theology, etc. and get connected with others
\

7.  I appreciate the Network for:
it’s support and resources, especially staying connected with others in ministry.
