Today would of been Mike Yaconelli’s 65th birthday. He died in a car accident almost 4 years ago.

Mike was a friend and a mentor. While many folks have had an impact on my faith journey over the years, no one more so than Mike.

An 8-minute tribute video that Youth Specialties made after his death has been making the rounds on the Net the last coupla months. It’s made up of clips of Mike’s closing messages at the National Youth Workers Conventions. It’s powerful, challenging, and inspiring. Typical Yac.

Even though he’s addressing youth workers, his message applies to anyone in the church…in faith. Take the time to watch it and chew on the meat.

Keep on dancin’, Mike!
