		<description>Hello Greg!
As always, it&#039;s a pleasure to see all of the conversations occurring on other websites. I wanted to invite you to join my facebook conversation going on right now with friends of mine who are devout Christians and some who are not. I just returned from the Ignite Green conference in Des Moines Iowa this weekend and one statistic that was thrown out there over and over again was that 70% of church going youth walk away from the church after high school. I have asked the question why on my facebook page and I&#039;m amazed by the response and the discussion that is occurring. If you are interested in checking this out, or one of your staff is interested, I would sure love to have you join the conversation. The 2nd question I asked was, out of the 70% who leave after high school, how many return in the their 20&#039;s or 30&#039;s? Why or why not? 

Thank you so much for all that you do for youth ministry. Currently I am the youth coordinator of our church and I asked for prayer as guide the youth until a youth minister is found. God Bless, Melinda Norton</description>
