If you didn’t hear the announcement this weekend, Todd Helmkamp starts today at New Hope as our new Youth Pastor. Todd was once the Cub Scout Master of the Pack we sponsor at the church, so some of these teens have already worked with him. Pastor Todd is home grown from our church, so he understands our culture. Todd has attended New Hope since his conversion, except for a few months when he and his wife, Bethany, helped Bethany’s father, Roger Dilley, start the church in Fort Wayne. He has led the Man Group (young men’s fellowship) for several years.

This is a new beginning for Todd and Bethany. And it is a new beginning for New Hope. I believe one of our responsibilities in the Lord’s church is to raise up leaders who will make disciples who will make disciples. Discipleship must be ongoing.

Pray for Todd today as he gets himself organized to rally these teens for the cause of Christ.
