Christian Newswire/ -- For over 40 years, Youth Specialties has placed themselves at the forefront of youth ministry training. Annually they serve over 100,000 youth workers worldwide in nearly all denominations. In 2011, they launched a new training series for youth workers called
YS Palooza. These two day events are packed full of all kinds of training from top youth ministry experts will help to inspire and grow your ministry.
The Almighty Bible is an acclaimed new and traditional media Bible project that aims to connect today's youth with the Bible through graphic novels, tablet/phone apps and a virtual world. Kids today are spending an average of 7.38hrs/day using entertainment media and far less time reading books. The Almighty Bible's mission is to make the Bible as accessible and engaging as possible for kids, tweens and young teens today. "We feel it is only natural to present God's word in this format and we are extremely excited to team up with an organization that has such a passion for the next generation of Christians," says Dong Chung, Executive Producer of the Almighty Bible.
Chap Clark (Vice Provost at Fuller Seminary), part of the Advisory Board for The Almighty Bible, helps to ensure that only the top quality and most effective product is ending up in the hands of youth. Chap says "As someone who works with parents and their kids I am thrilled to have a new tool set for making the bible accessible and exciting for today's youth. I keep telling parents that they need to provide their kids with relevant materials and now suddenly -- they are here -- in the guise of The Almighty Bible." We are excited that Chap Clark will be speaking at the first YS Palooza event, which will be held in Orlando, FL.
The 2011 YS Palooza events will be held in Orlando, Philadelphia and Dallas. The first event, Orlando, will be held on January 28 and 29. To learn more and to register please visit
