Do you Know Joe?

Summit ’10 offers youth an opportunity to connect with others, build authentic Christian community and be challenged to know, love, serve and celebrate God. At the most recent gathering, video testimonials of how Awana and 24-7 Ministries have impacted their lives -- helping them be "Modern Day Josephs".

Joseph of Genesis is an incredible picture of how we as parents, pastors, volunteers and denominational leaders hope our children will turn out. He is an ideal target for how we want our kids to grow spiritually and morally. We might not choose the circumstances that he had to endure, but we certainly would prefer to see our children respond to life in the same way as Jacob’s famous son. Excerpted from the book Raising a Modern-Day Joseph by Larry Fowler.
