November 14, 2013 Dear friend, What if 5,000 youth registered for National Youth Conference 2014? That is our goal this year, and we'd like you to get involved! We think doubling the typical attendance of NYC would create a 'delightful problem' for the Church of the Brethren. The venue for NYC 2014 (Colorado State University) can only accommodate 5,000 people. What if we ran out of beds for everyone and had to scramble to find extra housing? Wouldn't that be exciting? The church needs more of these kinds of problems. We're inviting you to join the 5,000 Challenge and help make this happen. Here's how you can participate: find one youth to send to NYC 2014. Who can you send? Have a conversation with one youth about NYC 2014 and encourage them to participate. Don't have youth in your congregation? Send a grandchild, cousin, niece or nephew, neighbor, or other youth you know in your community! Consider sponsoring a youth financially or helping them fundraise. Contact your church or district office to see what needs you can contribute to. If everyone finds one youth to send to NYC, we can meet our goal. Will you join the5,000 Challenge?
