Sending out a thanks To Those who helped make this site a reality!

Jesus - Thanks! Without you being a reality, life would mean nothing!

Zach - Special thanks to Zach Conrad of Rift Design Studio at riftdesign.com. Zach donated much of his personal time to this site as a ministry to our students. Because of all the sleepless nights he put in to create this site, I thought I would attempt to return a favor by letting others know of some needs he has. Zach is currnetly on staff with InterVarsity in Madison, South Dakota. In recent conversations Zach has informed me that he is significantly behind in his needed support. I wanted to suggest a possible way you could say thanks for the donation of time that he invested in the site. Would you consider a one-time gift to his ministry? You can contact him at the address below if you are interested. Also, Zach develops web sites on the side tas supplemental income, please refer someone to Rift Design Studio. info@riftdesign.com

Thank you Donors - Since web sites aren't free we had to come up with some cash to make this site happen. I want to say thank you to several donors, who gave up and beyond regular giving to help with this project. You know who you are! Thanks so much...

Sharon Wilson rocks! - Thanks for you influence on the site. We spent a lot of our time working on some foundational stuff early on that helped to be valuable in the end product.

Content Dumpers - Ricky, Luke, Jordan, Chuck, Tom! You guys have been along side of me in ministry, through good and bad days! Thanks so much for your committment to students, volunteers, and parents. I especially appreciate your willingness to dumping content on to the site to help keep others informed.

My Canadian Wife - Once again you have extended me much grace in the long hours of working on the site. I think I was especially annoying typing at 2 in the morning, only 5 feet from the bed. Thanks for your grace and for letting me do what I do. I love you!!!

First Evangelical Free Church - Thanks for being huge supporters of student ministries!

Youth Workers - How could we ever thank you enough for your devotion to Christ and students. You pour out your lives on top of your full-time jobs and families. You model a life-giving ministry and keep on smiling as you do. Praise God for you all!

Parents - I really hope that this tool helps with our communication. Many of you parents have been patient and and supportive. This gives us great courage to keep doing ministry, thanks!

Students - Last but not least, This site is for you! May it be a tool for you to get connected and challenged! May it lead us to Christ and to deeper relationships with others. Thanks for inspiring us old youth workers by showing the world what it looks like when a teenager makes a difference.

God Bless you all,

Brian Abbott
Pastor of Student Ministries
