This past Sunday and Monday we took a busload of students to Falls Creek for the Youth Evangelism Conference. Now if you grew up in youth ministry around Oklahoma in the past 25 years you would remember YEC being in August and was billed as more of a Back To School Party. The “Former” YEC was fun and energetic with bands, big name speakers and would usually conclude with an afternoon at Frontier City and a concert. A few years ago the BGCO Youth Leadership began to look at some change and moved YEC to January and began to put the focus back onto Equipping Students to be Evangelistic in their day-to-day lives. It has been a great change and the past two years that EBC Youth Ministry has attended we have come back
with students equipped and eager to share their faith in Jesus Christ with their friends and family. I say all this to commend our leadership at the BGCO for their vision of Equipping not Entertaining.
