You give so much of yourself as you walk beside others in ministry. Take some time this January to share your journey with other youth workers who understand the joys and challenges of ministry life.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s Youth Workers Connection is like no other. We will be meeting in the world-class city of downtown Chicago. Our worship times will be in a variety of venues from the University of Chicago to the Cultural Arts Center to North Park University. We will be encouraged and challenged to reflect on our faith journey and hear stories of how God has been faithfully walking beside our speakers and breakout leaders in their spiritual journey.
