There are many things I will miss here at First Presby, but the thing I’ll miss most are the students.  We’ve had some awesome kids graduate through our youth ministry, but this current group takes the cake.  They have so much potential for Christ, and It’s painful to think I won’t be seeing them through to graduation.  But I know they’re just getting started.  I’m confident that our youth staff serving under our new youth director, Allan Campbell, will continue to carry the torch high.

I want to personally thank each of you who have supported Janne and I, as well as the youth ministry these past 4 years and beyond.  This ministry changed my life as a high school sophomore, and it continues to change lives today.  The impact sometimes seems miniscule, but it isn’t.  We’ve seen hundreds of students come through our doors in my time here.  Some have come once or twice, and some have never left.  Both are a win for Christ, because we are in the business of planting seeds for Him.  And let me tell you, we’ve been some busy sowers!  I am certain I may never see a majority of the fruit from our time here, but I am completely confident knowing that someday Christ will break through their hearts and will become real to them because of the smallest of seeds that was planted at a simple church, with loyal youth workers, and faithful supporters, all because they loved Christ and wanted to show His love to these kids.

I will remember my time here fondly, and my hope and prayer is that this ministry continues to grow, and continues to impact students lives in a very fun and personal way.

Again, thank you for your love and support.

In Christ,

Brandon
