About

It is the MISSION of Infuzion to spiritually impact people of this generation for Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God.

It is the VISION of Infuzion to see spiritually healthy, whole, and vibrant ministries, teens, and programs alike; living pure, holy, and whole lives as the Lord desires.

It is the PURPOSE of Infuzion to partner and build relationships with those working with teens and families to help promote healthy, whole, pure and intimate relationships with Christ and with each other.

And The Wonder Of It All…

Infuzion began as a dream in 2006 with our first rally in Wilmington, New York. We have since partnered with a number of organizations, schools, churches, and camps — often being used as a catalyst to promote health in the lives of young people and groups alike. It is our goal to seek out the Lord’s heart for purity, wholeness and holiness for this generation. We want to see great, powerful and freeing things for people today from all walks of life!

How Does Infuzion Work?

We meet student leaders from all walks of life that are always looking for help and service. Through partnership and relationship we begin to seek out the needs of the youth program and serve as needed in a capacity that the students can relate to in their journey in life. We speak on a variety of topics, cementing the fragmentation that might exist in a group or an individual through a retreat format or programmed format. While there, we seek to inject life and hope in the world of the people we are involved with that are constantly dealing with brokenness within their lives. It’s a haven for vibrancy, freedom, and going beyond ourselves in life in general.

Programs

Camps

Infuzion has always been in the business of partnering with camps and retreat centers for any season of the year. The ministry really emerged from being regularly involved in this type of ministry. Whether our whole team is involved or just part of us, our desire is to put together a camping program unlike any other. We can be used as specifically as you need when it comes to your camp program. From being a camp counselor to camp pastor or speaker to worship leader, our aim is to serve you and help you develop the vision you believe God has for the participants in your camping activities. Interested? Please contact us today at camps@infuzion.org.

Retreats

When partnering with a local church or a few local groups, we can taylor a weekend specific to the spiritual needs of the local community. From main sessions to workshops to relational development, our drive for weekend getaways is to provide an atmosphere where God can bring healing and wholeness to your youth ministry. These events are structured and planned through conversation and connection with local youth leaders, and in actively praying for wisdom that comes from the Holy Spirit. If you are interested in having the team involved in your retreat or a specific weekend built for your youth ministry, please contact us at retreats@infuzion.org.

The Roots Conference

While our ministry is very focused on being on the road and meeting you where you are at as a church and youth ministry, we will periodically hold a conference called The Roots Conference. Presently, this ministry is meeting twice a year, once in the fall and once in the spring. This semi-annual event is for believers that are hungry for more of God and His Word. It’s focused on teaching the Word and aspects of life that have to deal with its truth. Email us at roots@infuzion.org for more information.

Untorn Net

Tuesdays at 8PM EST

We are currently thinking of ways that we can not only connect and be a part of the untorn, united Church, but also help facilitate and be part of its unifying work even more than we already are. One of the ideas that we are praying about is the concept of redeeming media through Facebook, Twiitter, etc. by providing devotionals online and resources that will help and assist in the growth of one’s relationship with the Lord. We want to provide tools for discipleship and are exploring ways to make this possible. Another concept we are working on is an online forum or discussion or weekly messages or Bible studies to build up and encourage the Kingdom of God. More information coming soon and if you have ideas you can email us at untorn@infuzion.org.

Retail

Have you ever worked in retail before? I remember some of my jobs growing up. They were all interesting places. Some of them required me to take a shower after work because the smell of the store remained on me. Other times, I left with a bad attitude because of infighting with my fellow employees. Each job had its good points and negative ones. At the end of it all, these positions have served some use to open up new possibilities and chapters on the journey of life.

In all of this, one job really sticks out. I have had some of my best days working here and some of my worst. It all depends on the people, because it was in retail. With retail, you are working with people all the time. There are different seasons of retail, too. You have dead times and restful times depending on . . .

A Curve Ball

I admit it… I love baseball. I know that it is a slow game and that some people might claim that it’s the perfect cure for insomnia, but I can’t help but watch a good, quality game in person or on TV. I don’t have a favorite team and find myself usually supporting the underdog in a particular game. It’s a fun sport filled with all sorts of mind games, what if scenarios, and possibilities.

Over the course of the past several years, I have had the chance to go games in Batavia, NY which features the short season, single A farm affiliate for the St. Louis Cardinals. It’s amazing how close you are to the action and how the players are ready and willing to sign autographs. It’s quite amazing. Some of these guys go on to be big league stars in the majors.

Just like with any sport, . . .

Safe Environments

We’ve all been there before. We’ve all been to places and sat in environments that have threatened our comfort levels. Our security of safety has been put on notice and we aren’t sure what to expect, what’s going to happen next, or how to cope with a new environment that promises so much but only delivers a bag of hurt.

What am I talking about here? A seemingly friendly environment that turns hostile with judgment and condemnation that is ultimately driven by division! I’ve been in situations like this before and I know many of you have too. It’s particularly hard when it is the people of God that come together that might feel like they are causing the harm or the hurt.

Often times my initial reaction to these times is to take it in stride. I understand that there are going to be environments that appear safe and unifying . . .

Eating Well

Freedom and personal convictions can be a tricky thing for some. You don’t want to step on too many toes in this politically correct world, but you still have to maintain some sense of identity and standing by who you are and what you believe. Personally, I want to get along and connect with as many people as possible “in order that some might be saved” as Paul writes in his first letter to the Corinthians.

People pleasing has some interesting perspectives of its own. Some live by this because they feel the burden to be a peacekeeper. They hate seeing conflict, especially when the drama of life directly impacts them! Others don’t care at all about people, their thoughts, and opinions. I’m not sure how this will work out in the long haul with favor and connection with people, I’m simply stating the other extreme of those that aren’t . . .
