Finally! The numbers have been crunched. The thousands (11,557) of open-ended sentence completions have been read, re-read, and digested. The charts have been drawn, the summaries are written and the book is done. For the first time in the history of youth ministry in Canada we have a comprehensive, current portrait of the men and women who care for young people across our nation and the contexts in which they do their ministry.

Thank you for being part of this project. It was clear that you responded wholeheartedly and your involvement ensured we heard the voices of youth leaders from all across our country. As key players in this project, we wanted you to see for yourself 'What's Happening" in youth ministry in Canada. Attached to this email is a link to the summaries of each section of the book. Click HERE for a sneak peek of what you and your peers are saying.

We also wanted to let you know that the What's Happening Book is available for sale. Please go to our web page to find out how to get a copy for you and your team.

Thanks again for taking the time to fill out the survey -- and for all you do for the youth in your community!

Sincerely,

Don Posterski, Marv Penner, Chris Tompkins
