UYWI09 // May 14-16
Next year's theme is The Beautiful Struggle, which is largely based around 2 Corinthians 6:3-10 (especially how it reads in The Message).

UYWI09 is a place to connect, learn and be renewed!
come and find:

• diverse learning opportunities: with over 150 electives, various learning labs and 13 forums.

• that we care for your soul by providing spiritual formation options including a spiritual retreat, space designed just for prayer and contemplation, spiritual directors, corporate prayer, late-night worship by the fire... and more.

• a NEW opportunity to process in a small group during your time at the Institute.

• tons of resources at the UYWI store and free stuff available in the exhibit hall.

• that you’ll have a blast with time to relax, talk with other youth workers and participate in fun late-night activities.

• that you’re surrounded by remarkable speakers, trainers, artists and worship, all relevant to urban ministry.

New RELOAD merch at UYWI Store:
The RELOAD tour began Saturday, October 4th in Miami with a slimmed down and more economical UYWI Store. This year, we've expanded our audio resources to include mp3 audio on USB thumb drives. Additionally, the UYWI Store will be selling new shirts, which have a timely redefinition of "RELOAD" on them, and we are pleased to continue selling the Student Ventures "Playbook" and Rudy Carrasco's "Protest & Invest." We are also accepting pre-orders of all RELOAD 2008-2009 Workshop audio (on CD or USB Thumb Drive) until that is made available at the end of the month.

You can find all of this and more at a RELOAD event in a city near you, or online at uywistore.com
