Q7: 1973 youth conference. This was my confirmation call to youth ministry and the event that prompted Becky and I to move to Lynchburg and join the staff. Chirs Tice was a key; Gordon's message on the call to youth minsitry, Vernon Brewer's professionalism and heart for mobilizing teens to go to missions, Roscoe's World passion, etc,......
Q8: Dr. Falwell and Gordon have been used to affirm my calling to "recruit, train, place and network local church youth ministers globally". The "church is the labratory for training."
Between the two of them I was mentored in an environment that demands that we should be: FEARLESS, AND ATTEMPT THE "BIG THING" Step out in Faith. Very addictive stuff! I'm not over it yet.
