Well, I have officially settled in as the new Youth Pastor at First Baptist. It's at a perfect time too as the new building upgrade a couple of weeks away from being completed. As you can see our new youth room is now completed and we look forward to getting into it in the new year. Everyone is very excited to move into it. With moving into the church we also hope that it will bring the youth closer to the church family as well. We want to see the youth become more apart of the church and get involved as an integral part of the church body, rather than a seperate entity. It seems that so many youth ministries takes what culture does with youth and throws them into a world all their own. We don't want to do the same thing in the church. We want them to see the importance of being apart of a church family and what that means for their lives. We just hope that we can be a conduit to that and not a hindrance. The Lord has already been faithful to the vision that he has given us and has started to break down some of the barriers between generations. Kristin and I are so excited for what the rest of this year has in store for the Youth at FBC Nanaimo. We have fallen in love with the youth there and are really starting to see progress in the relationships we have been building. Your continued prayers are very much appreciated and needed.
Jamie & Kristin
