I love it.

This may or may not be a surprise to you, but there is more and more talk about college ministry in the local church.  In fact I think it’s more than every before!  One of the things I’m most excited about is there are a few organizations trying to provide resources to those of us working with college-age people - and specifically in the local church!

It’s an interesting time.  Most resource companies are saying the “market” isn’t big enough yet to “invest” in resources.  I understand this, but to a VERY limited degree.  Some companies simply don’t have the resources to invest at this point in time, so to taking on the costs of producing resources is just not feasible.  But, there is one exception: Simply Youth Ministry.

Let me just be honest here.  It was over a year ago that I talked with Andy about college ministry resources. Was there a “market”?  No.  Was there a need?  Absolutely!  So, they have been investing in the need for over a year now.  I love it.  That’s ministry.

They are still working on providing more resources themselves, but they are also compiling some resources from all around that are specifically geared toward those of us working with college-age people - and specifically in the local church.  They now have a growing and developing college platform!  Keep an eye out.  They are also offering 10% off anything they have in that platform right now (in fact this coupon will allow 10% off anything in the store - it automatically takes it off in your cart).

Anyway, thanks to Andy, Doug, Nadim, Chris…and the rest of the gang there!
