To my fellow council members on the Northwest Regional NYI Council,

I’m very excited to bring you this report as the NW Region NYI President. Since our last meeting our Region has seen the election of four new district NYI presidents. This is the largest change in leadership in one year that I can remember, and I’ve been on the regional council since 2004. This is an important time of change and we need to help each other as many of us face new roles in leadership. It is important to remember why we do what we do in ministry on the regional level because our ministry affects teens and youth workers at every level, including the local church and district ministries. As we look to the future, we must look at important key elements that will help our ministry at the local, district and regional levels. Whether you were just elected or you have been on this council for a while, these are good things to remember.

First, we need to be proactive and diligent in ministry. Our call to ministry is a divine appointment not to be mistaken with any man made desire or hobby. We have to be very professional in ministry as we manage and negotiate the goals and tasks of our ministries. The balancing act of administration and relational ministry can be difficult. Be proactive and step up to your call to ministry and leadership. Credibility and integrity are very important as you work as a pastor. Find and meet with an accountability partner that you can be honest with. Spend time in prayer and make time for your family a priority.

Second, we need to establish relationships and build bridges with people without an agenda, Christian and non-Christian alike. Now more than ever we need to be able to invest time and energy in people without the idea of gaining their loyalty or to our district and regional titles. Teens especially, can spot someone trying to befriend them with ulterior motives.

Finally, in the first year of your role as district NYI president there are some key decisions that you need to make as you begin your role as DP. We will discuss some of these from the DP guide later in our meeting. I want to also challenge you to try and serve in your role as DP for at least four years. Consistency in leadership is important. As we head toward events like Third Wave 2011, NYC 2011, and Global NYI Convention in 2013, consistency will help each district, and our region as a whole, as we plan and encourage others to attend these events.

Respectively Submitted,

Rev. Richard R. Vasquez

NW Region NYI President

Big Picture Training Report

NWR Training Report – Spring Meeting 2010

I'm stoked to announce the merger between Big Picture Training and Barefoot Training!

Feb 28-March 2, 2010, BPT trainers met with Chris Folmsbee and the Barefoot Training Team. Chris has served as youth pastor, led various youthworker training initiatives and is now leading Barefoot. We are excited and privileged to have Chris’ able leadership and compelling vision to lead us.

During our meetings we shared spaces of prayer reflection in Christ as well as conversing through Enroute and Encounter.These seminars will be trained the next two years to be followed by the other trainings listed on BFT's website www.barefoottraining.com

What does all this mean right now for youth worker training on our region?

1) Trainer positions on District NYI councils, partnerships, and resources are critical to the mission of guiding youth workers and students in spiritual formation for the mission of God.

2) The BPT events currently booked online are our last. The BPT seminars will be digitized and become web modules this year offered through Barefoot.

3) Book Enroute events to host on your districts and BFT will provide the training facilitator.

4) Once a current Big Picture Team Member hosts, participates, team trains a BFT workshop and, completes the BFT application/evaluation process they will be considered to be a BFT facilitator.

Trainings November 2009-April 2010 & Projected:

Feb IM Nate Roskam SDMI Tour (complete)

April IM Kenny .Wade $5 (pending)

Summer NW James O Heroic Faith (pending)

July NNU Kenny Wade Enroute (pending)

Projects:

-Contact with all BPT team members (emails/phone)

-RME2010: Youth Worker Dinner, Spiritual Direction, BFT, FCE

-PALCON July 2010: 2 Workshops Prep-Staff Relations & Enroute Training

Regional Trainer GOALS April-November 2010

1) Every District booked with an Enroute Training by January 2010

2) Email YouTube Video explaining connection between Barefoot Ministries, Training, NYI, and NPH

3) PALCON Prep

4) Call Conference Prep

5) Third Wave 2011 Prep

Discussion ensued about what the present transitions looks like. One particular question is will training be promoted more widely. Is there a way to communicate an event with people without them having to go to a website. How are they are going to universally promote the events?


Dear Directors,

I am apologizing for reporting back so late after the November meeting with the regional Council. There are two policies that have changed for our region. The regional council felt that we needed to be in line with the general guidelines of all the participants in the Main Event.
