With nine speakers, one band (Lost & Found) and a group of youth workers collaborating together, Ignite National Youth Leadership conference held its first event in March 2004, offering youth ministries affordable, attractive training at a reasonable cost. With the growing numbers of people coming to Ignite and the need to offer better equipping opportunities at the same affordable value, in 2007 Ignite expanded by adding regional partners who helped subsidize the cost of the conference by $20.00 for each person that attended. These partners, to their credit, put no stipulations on the money they gave, they simply wanted to help do better youth ministry in the Midwest. Ignite has always been about Youth leadership development. In fact, last year's theme was all about mission and was dedicated to developing student leaders who will give their lives for the cause of the gospel. This year at Ignite we are taking the concept of training to a new level. We may not be the sharpest tool in the shed but we do exist to help sharpen the tools (aka - students) in your shed. Whether you work with one tool or have a whole shed full, join our master caftsmen and get ready to laugh - this year's conference will give you the tools you need to do some great ministry.
