Sat, 21 Jun 2008 10:08:07 -0500 http://www.pastor2youth.com/Article64.html Race This Vol. 2 On your marks! Get set! RACE! From the shot of the starter’s pistol this product will help grab your students’ attention. These simple yet highly addictive games are a great programming element to add into any meeting. Students can choose a racer and then cheer it on to victory. Or defeat. Whichever comes first. These are the same style of races used at sporting events, rodeos, or anywhere a crowd and a jumbotron meet. But now this is available for your hot little hands. There are 10 different themes and each race is randomized—which means you never know who is going to win! All Race This! games are compatible with Macs or PCs, so have no fear. You can play them straight off the DVD or load them up into your favorite presentation software for smooth sailing on meeting night.

Snapshot Web (a partner of Simply Youth Ministry) has been around for several years and now it just got better!!! If you are looking for a powerful, easy-to-use program for developing a stellar website for your youth ministry or your church, SnapShot Web has it all for you! I have loved using SnapShot web for developing my own youth ministry website (stmarktxyouth.org).  It’s so easy to use and so powerful that I can either update it quickly and easily myself, or hand it over to one of my students to update. One of the best ways for you to get a sense of what you can do with a SnapShot Website is to take a look at some of the sample sites that they have highlighted at SnapShotWeb.com. In fact, they’re so confident you’ll love it that they’re now offering a 30-day risk free trial.  Seriously, you have to check this out. Here are some of the things that you’ll get with your SnapShot Website: Professionally designed templates in over 50 great designs & colors – plus we're adding new templates every quarter. An easy to use content management system to meet all of your web needs. The ability to add unlimited pages with all kinds of features such as Calendars, Surveys, and Discussion Boards with a few simple clicks. A quick and simple way to share photos, videos, and podcasts with a process that's just about as easy as you could imagine. Access to login and manage your SnapShot Website from anywhere in the world.  It's web-based so there's no software to install. The tools you’ll need to create custom templates that incorporate your logo and colors and match the look and feel of your community. Plus, as a Pastor2youth.com user, if you click the link below and sign up for any of the three packages at SnapShotWeb.com, you will receive a $25.00 gift card from Simply Youth Ministry for any downloadable, self-published product once your SnapShot purchase is complete.

Tue, 14 Nov 2006 19:13:55 -0600 http://www.pastor2youth.com/Article39.html Pastor2youth.com is looking for people who can translate the "GAMES" on this site into a different language!!! We have a LOT of visitors from many different countries who are using the games on this site, and we would love to be able to make the games available in other languages. We do not want to use a translation program, as those often are not accurate. As a site that is FREE, we are not able to offer anything for translations other than our heartfelt thanks and encouragement that you will be blessing MANY other people. If you would be willing to translate the games (or even just SOME of the games) on pastor2youth into another language, please contact Ryan Nielsen at uthpastor@pastor2youth.com.
