Mark Schaufler has worked
with young people since 1979 and lived in the same area the entire time.
That has given him the opportunity to learn from things done in ministry over
two decades ago. Traveling in ministry since 1992 has continued to enable
learning from the dozens of churches and countries he works in every year.
This continuing classroom has developed some basic Youth
Ministry concepts that are a part of all the training and preaching in this
area.
In
2003, Mark began a youth ministry training called Finish the Race, a healthy
youth ministry in your setting. This training is done in 4 levels, in
various locations in Washington State. This training can be scheduled for
your leaders or your community at your convenience. Please visit the
website: www.finish-the-race.org
for more information and other great youth ministry resources.
