“Keep Dreaming”We hadn’t quite dreamt of snow on

world and for our lives, we began dreaming ourselves – about how we could be involved in building God’s kingdom.

I have to admit, I have not always been one to use the NYI Ministry plan
(s). The language and format seemed confusing and I thought that it was too formal, too rigid, and I could do more authentic
ministry without it. Yet, as I have looked back over it with some friends and thought about it, I have begun to change my
attitude. One of the things that I have come to appreciate more and more is the formation of a council. While there is a formal
leader, the council is there to discuss, decide, and share the load of ministry. Not only is it not smart to try to do ministry
by oneself, it is not biblical.

doors to gather the District Presidents to discuss NYI and ministry to Youth. It was the wise comment of a Filipino leader who
suggested, "Why not include the District Superintendents in these meetings and discussions?" This simple suggestion had a profound
impact upon all that happened in our time together, and God also used it to begin to really speak to my heart.
