Weekly Resources, Ideas and Articles from The Source for Youth Ministry Thursday, October 30, 2003
October 30, 2003 This morning I received a phone call from a friend ... the kind of call I wish I never had to take. Co-founder and owner of Youth Specialties (YS), Mike Yaconelli, was in a fatal car accident in northern California late last evening. Mike has touched the lives of many of us through his ministry, through his speaking, and through his writings. He will be missed. Words are hard to come by during these times. So I'll leave you with a psalm written by one of Mike's mentors and close friend, the late Joe Bayly. I am sure they are renewing their friendship in heaven right now. Mike published this poem in The Wittenberg Door in 1973 A PSALM ABOUT THE SHORTNESS OF LIFE I said Oh Lord Let me end the work You gave to me to do. So much must yet be done before the dark so little time remains before I'm home. You are eternal God a thousand years to You is but a passing day. You scatter a ages I hoard my hours. Please understand my need for time to do Your will complete my job. I understand He said I do I only had three years of days and I was through Joe Bayly Psalms of my Life Mike, a child of our Father, has gone home. We'll miss him, but his legacy and his impact will live on. Please keep his wife, Karla, his father, Ernie, his children and grandchildren, and the YS staff in your prayers, as they deal with this painful loss.
