Changing Times New People Groups to Serve 1. The U.S. population is becoming more and more ethnically and culturally diverse. The next generation of youth, for example, will be the most diverse generation in U.S. history.
All people look to their leaders for guidance in what experiences are good and important.
This means that having skilled staff becomes more and more important. Visions for new experiences are coming to life in retreats for persons living with HIV or AIDS, adventure experiences for persons living with physical challenges, camps for children living with cancer, and others. Many prefer this to attending an event especially geared for persons who share the same physical challenges. This too calls us to think, to adapt, and to be prepared in new ways. We Serve The development of retreat and conference centers as part of our ministry has expanded rapidly in recent years.
