Engaging Younger Generations
For any ministry to continue on successfully there needs to
be a constant stream of supporters in all existing generations. In the past few
years, The Tide© has begun to intentionally reach out to the younger generation
with avenues for them to get involved so that our long history of relevant
ministry will continue on. As a way to encourage the younger generation’s
participation, The Tide will be sponsoring a contest to distribute THREE
full-event passes to Creation Festival at Agape Farm in Shirleysburg,
PA June
26-29, 2013.
We will be hosting three competitions, with one winner
selected from each category. Each winner will receive one full-event pass to
Creation (pass includes entrance ticket only, transportation, food, and lodging
are the responsibility of the participant), a free t-shirt, and the guarantee
that the winning materials will be used for promotional purposes of The Tide.
For this competition to be a success, we need the help of
ALL generations of supporters of The Tide. If you know of a young person who
would love to spend four days this summer at the largest Christian music
festival on the east coast, who has a big heart for the work of missions
outreach, and a passion to see their own generation step into ministry, please
pass this information on to them! We all must work together to continue the
ministry of The Tide for years to come.
