I want to tell you about one of my favorite things in the world: The Orange Conference. Over the last few years, this experience has been one of the highlights. Ministry is exhausting. Whether you are on staff or a volunteer, pouring your life into the next generation is exhilarating and exhausting. The Orange Conference is one of those experiences that recharges my batteries and my passion.
Let me tell you what happens to me when I attend Orange: I laugh hysterically. I reconnect with God in meaningful ways. I cry over the hurt and rejection students experience. I think deeply over ministry strategy. I worship without distraction. I appreciate our volunteers in new ways. I connect with other ministry leaders who think like me. I eat amazing food! I develop new friendships with student pastors all over the country. And, most importantly, I always leave rejuvenated, recharged, reimpassioned (just made that one up), reanimated and reconnected.
Here’s a video to prove that I’m not just making stuff up.

If you are a student ministry or kids ministry person, I would love for you to check out this conference. It’s the best out there. Registration is open and the super duper early bird price is still available until October 9. Check it out: The Orange Conference 2015.
