The Tabernacle Youth Center has been finished for one week and we have had 3 groups and events in the building. The first group was a youth ministry from Pennsylvania doing ministry and evangelism on the OC Boardwalk. The second group was a singles ministry from Pennsylvania that held swing and ballroom dances in the Youth Center. Wrapping up the busiest week ever was a youth worker’s conference that we held on Monday and Tuesday. We had 36 local youth workers receive training from Duffy Robbins. Now I am beat!
