Y.E.S.

Y.E.S. (Youth Evangelism Sending Teams) are out in full force this month. Students from Utah and Idaho are helping churches reach their communities. This month we (UISBC) are sending our first Y.E.S. team beyond our boarders and sending a team to Canada for nearly two weeks lead by John Martinez of Eastside Baptist Church in Twin Falls, Idaho.

Pray for all Y.E.S. teams.

9Marks eJournal

Mark Dever, Pastor at Capital Hill Baptist Church in Washington DC has a great resource on church health and related aritcles that you may find of interest from time to time. 9Marks published a journal of various topics you can subscribe to here. 

The May/June 2009 issue became an imediate read for me because of the topic of multi-site church growth thoughts. This reminded me of a pastor in Colorado in the early 70s who preached in New Castle and Rifle (about 14 miles apart) every Sunday morning while both churches were new and shared the support of their pastor. How could this be a model for church planting in rural Idaho and Utah as well as the cities of Salt Lake City and Boise?
