Clay in the Potter's Hands - Tami's Story
One of the things that became clear through Tami’s story is that being surrounded by a supportive community is incredibly important. Youth leaders play an important role in kids’ lives, and as the saying goes, “You can’t pour from an empty vessel.”
At our Pittsburgh Kids Network meeting in March, Tami Weisner shared a short devotional about viewing God as the divine potter, and us as clay. She beautifully explained and expanded on this concept using her journey of motherhood to illustrate what it means to be clay in the hands of the potter.
One of the things that became clear through Tami’s story is that being surrounded by a supportive community is incredibly important. Youth leaders play an important role in kids’ lives, and as the saying goes, “You can’t pour from an empty vessel.” That’s why we invest so heavily in local youth leaders through the Pittsburgh Kids Network. For decades, youth leaders all over the city have found a supportive community within the network.
The Pittsburgh Kids Network
We sat down with a few of the youth leaders in the Network and asked them how it's impacted their lives and their ministries. Check it out!
The Pittsburgh Kids Network (PKN) has always been the backbone of The Pittsburgh Kids Foundation. PKN is a Network of support, understanding, encouragement, and training. Once a month, we gather youth leaders from all over the Pittsburgh area and encourage them to engage with their peers who are also on the frontlines of ministry. Monthly PKN Meetings provide a much-needed opportunity to connect with other leaders, share prayer requests, worship the Lord and be free of the everyday demands and expectations of youth ministry. Youth leaders also have the opportunity to meet on a smaller scale in PKN Groups in their own geographical area of Pittsburgh. There they can share ideas, concerns, and support with one another, as well as collaborate on upcoming events.

PKN meetings are open to all youth leaders and resume on September 7, 2018! For more information on upcoming Network events, join the PKN Facebook Group.
