A little over a month ago at the shift conference, Kurrent launched (a web portal powered by unifyer) for the purpose of developing leaders for spiritual formation among this next generation. This is a new global youth ministry network built specifically for youth leaders, volunteers, parents, and educators. You can watch the intro video here.
