I'm in Indiana today and working from the CE National office in Winona Lake. One of the ministries that we're working through is the Fusion program at Momentum. We've been evaluating the ministry and role of Fusion as it relates to college-age people. Everything from programming to cost has been "kicked" around as we look to see where the Lord is taking this ministry.

I'm excited to see in what could be a new direction in discipleship and equipping young people to serve Christ and others. College-age want to be a force that is helping to change the world for the good. Christian young people desire this as well but they want to see more than just a physical change. They look to see change that have eternal value. Any ministry that works with college-age should be striving to produce qualities that bear fruit for Jesus.

We hope that if you are sending college-age to Momentum, whether as a staff person in your youth group or Fusion participant, that you'll encourage them to see where the Lord wants to stretch them in their faith. Look for more information in the Fusion section on Momentum's web site.

What a great turnout we had for our first Collegeleader regional seminar. Chuck Bomar, founder of Collegeleader, shared his experience of over 10 years working with college-age people to around 40 participants at the one day event. The seminar was held at Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California and was hosted by Brad Baker, pastor to college-age young people at the church.

The one day event is geared towards helping the local church to minister to college-age people within and outside the Church walls. These are crucial years for late adolescence and a significant gap within many church ministries are during these years. Collegeleader looks to aid churches in how to assimilate young people into the Body through discipleship.
