Good Night Mike Yaconelli
Mike Yaconelli, the founder of Youth Specialties and The Wittenberg Door magazine, died last night in a car wreck near his home in Yreka, CA.

Mike maintained a strong influence on my ministry. He demonstrated that leaders could be real, recognizing that faith in Jesus Christ is messy and dangerous. At an important time in my life, he took time to listen and help me process my own call to ministry.

I have confidence that Mike is with God. Yet, I’m sad at our loss. We have lost a great visonary who was leading the church into new places.

See ‘ya later Mike
