David VIPER Ward


Niverville YFC proudly presents David Ward as the Summer Staff Worker for 2010. David brings a summer of experience to the plate as he was on board with us last year. With the foundation from last year, he moves stealthly like a viper into the snake pit of youth ministry. Snake pit, you ask? Well yes, let your imagination run wild.

We're pleased to have you on our TOP GUN team, David...or should we say Viper!

fast lanes, big bands, and the glue that holds them together

life is back in the fast lane.



There is a TON of stuff on the plate with us YFC folk. An early spring brings out teenagers from hibernation. In April we ran a weekend retreat for YFC staff and volunteers from around the area that amounted to around 80 people. It went really well and we were excited to gather together as a YFC family, equipping each other to further the ministry. We also recently hosted a Drop-In Open House, showcasing some of new renovations, new programs, and some of who we are and the history of where we came from. It was amazing to see new faces and familiar faces, as well as people from every church congregation in Niverville. REPRESENT!




We're currently going full throttle on planning for future events...including bringing a band from California to play at this year's Niverville Fair! A band called Project 86 is performing MAIN STAGE on Friday night of the Fair, a treat our youth have never experienced at the Fair in years past. So if you happen to be in Niverville on the Friday night of the Fair (June 11), be prepared for some LOUD music and if it happens to hurt your eardrums...please suffer for the kids!



So we're looking forward to this summer and its stuff...looking forward to its hopeful impact on our teenagers. With all the stuff going on, we still focus so much on the relationship we build and foster with the teens. It acts as the glue between the cracks of the stuff that goes on in life and our programming. Go glue go!

the Drop-In's TOP GUN idea

We've decided to boost our staff morale with the idea of monthly staff themes. Genious idea, I know. So...this month's theme is TOP GUN! (based on the fact that Gordon recently came in to work with a Goose-like moustache).

So we're not sure what kind of impact this will have on the ministry, but we're expecting great things!
