The sessions will build on the work that Fuller Youth Institute (FYI) has done, all while inspiring you and providing new tools to help you in your ministry context. These tools with help you, your youth, and their families form a foundation for life-long faith in Jesus. Leave the event encouraged; there are many things you can do to affect the trajectory of your ministry and the lives of young people!
