David Fraze Youth Ministry is incredible and awful, fun and not-so-fun, rewarding and punishing, great on your family and...you get the picture. Youth ministry is a dynamic roller coaster of ups and downs. Like most roller coaster enthusiest, the more drops, turns and curves the better. Youth ministry will not disappoint. If you want to thrive and survive the ride, you need to buckle up and listen to the safety instructions. Oh, you don't need to keep your hands inside the vehicle at all times. You can raise them if you want.

Ron and Lori Clark  Jesus' synagogue sermon announced that his ministry would target those on the margins of society. When we planted the Agape Church of Christ, we felt called to offer a similar vision of hope to those in Portland who had been marginalized by oppression, consumerism, and (unfortunately) the very movement where we had been leading in ministry. This ministry of the Spirit quickly became overwhelming while providing tremendous blessings teaching us love, compassion, courage, and how to offer a Spiritual presence in Portland and the rest of our country.
