August 3, 2009

Interviewed by ninetyandnine.com 

Pentecostals of Alexandria Youth Pastor Chris Endsley will be speaking at a split session of the UPCI's North American Youth Congress. We wanted to ask him a few questions about his Youth Congress experiences, as well as challenges facing young Christians today. 

90&9: What's the first NAYC you attended and what do you remember from it?

CE: The first NAYC that I attended was Little Rock, AR 1995. I remember purchasing a hyper-color “No Fear” t-shirt (cool then) and I remember my girlfriend (also, cool then) of a few months breaking up with me to explore her more than 12,000 options. I was devastated but rebounded quickly once I realized that I too had more than 12,000 options to explore. 
 
90&9: What do you see as the biggest challenge for Apostolic youth today?     
CE:
I think the biggest challenge for Apostolic youth is to redefine Christianity through their lives and less with their words. To liberate generations after them with the message of love and truly accept the challenge to follow Him. To not only love to live, but to also live to love by rebelling against the low expectations placed on them by society and today's culture.  
 
90&9: Please share the impact, if any, that social networking and Web 2.0 has made on your ministry or you personally.  
CE:
Twitter. Need I say more? 
 
90&9: Please name a person who has mentored you and describe how and why they've impacted your life.  
CE: Terry Shock and Tim Rutledge. They have impacted my life through their consistency to remain them while encouraging me to be me.  
 
90&9: (Excluding God, the Bible and family), I can't live without…  
CE: My beloved iPhone 
 
90&9: The last item I downloaded was…  
CE: An app called Waterslide. It was for my 6 year old son, Jackson.  
 
Other Noteworthy downloads include: 
Johnathan Dean's new album, “FLOW” (iTunes)  
Royal Tailor's album, “Love Like This” (iTunes)
