This picture was taken four years ago (notice me on the right). It was at my first summer camp with the youth group. After being on staff at Central Community for four years and getting ready to take the youth group to our fifth summer camp. I realize now I am probably a little more experienced than I was in 2004. When I first started out as youth pastor I always had problems with students not taking me serious, and/or talking to me as if I were one of the guys. Now students always compare me to their parents and often ask me if I am over 30 years old. A lot happens in 4 years. Tons of fun stuff, a few hard times, but in all I have loved my time at Central Community and am really looking forward to this next year.

John,
You're anniversary (4 years) has been on my mind. Can't tell you how proud of your faithfulness through good times and bad. Our family's seen it all these last 4 years and serving with you has been one of the real high points that's helped me through it all. You're an amazing leader and I feel honored to serve Christ alongside you.
much love,
Dad
