  2. Survival for 1Look after THE Connection • Being connected to God on a daily basis is more important than any youth ministry seminar you attend or any book you read.

You must value your spiritual life to survive the youth ministry marathon! Your First Two Years in Youth Ministry by Doug Fields, p.64
