Last month we began to unpack the ongoing succession plan that is slowly moving Youth-Reach into the next season and preparing this ministry for growth and fruitfulness in a generation that will present fresh and evolving challenges. Here in Houston, I am excited to serve beside and witness the growth of a man uniquely gifted to labor in the Houston area.
My wife Summer and I came to Youth-Reach with a heart to see a ministry led by the Lord; somewhere we could see His hand working daily. We came from incredible ministries that touched on some of what was in our hearts, but we desired to do it differently from what we had seen.

The year 2020 certainly was a wake-up call, and if you have taken any time to get into a quiet and contemplative place, you may have picked up some really good areas where we can all be better people in this new year. Here are some points I have picked up.
