Since 2004, the month of May has been bitter sweet for me. On one hand, May 2004 was the most amazing month I have ever seen in my youth ministry career but one of the most difficult, as well. May 2004 began a continuous series of reflections for me as a youth pastor, especially as I contemplate the idea of leaving a legacy that will draw people into a relationship with Jesus.

In my last column (January/February 2008), I tried to make the case that longevity in youth ministry is something to be desired. Youth workers have a reputation of being transitory, which ends up limiting their effectiveness. In this issue I’d like to investigate what causes youth pastors to leave. In my next column (September-October), I’ll conclude the series with some ideas for how to last.
