I spoke at the United Country Real Estate Convention this morning. One of our YouthFront Board Members, Lou Francis, is the President of United Country. They had 700 staff and associates here for the convention at Crown Center. I spoke about the UNC study on Religion and Adolescents. I asked Where are the Adults? I also showed the news story on Sally Rymer, one of our teen staff. I was amazed at how energized this group was. I talked to dozens of delegates after I finished speaking. So many of them were volunteer youth workers. I was really surprised by their passion for youth ministry. Brett Francis, Lou's son and one of our alumni teen staff led the time of singing and worship. I stuck around for the corporate welcome by Lou to his company. It was very cool to see the standing ovation he got and to watch him in his element. I am so grateful for Lou creating this opportunity for youth ministry and YouthFront.
