Andrew Laubacher
Andrew Laubacher, aka ALOB, was raised in Ventura, California, where he attended Mass, played many sports, hung at the beach and was always into music. He attended Catholic school before switching to a public school because he was “tired of the Catholic rules.” In high school, he partied hard. After a serious wake-up call, he decided to attend a Steubenville Youth Conference where he found God. That changed ALOB’s life. ALOB received degrees in theology and philosophy from Franciscan University. Today, his mission is to introduce the freedom and love of Christ through worship music and preaching to modern culture.
Funds2Orgs
Creative Fundraising Ideas are Baked into our DNA
The story of The Funds2Orgs Group developed through the years. It started with a single shoe that washed ashore after the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. At the time, Wayne Elsey was the president of an international shoe manufacturing company.
Wayne went on to establish one of the largest nonprofits in the United States, helping people affected by some of the world’s most significant natural disasters, including the Indian Ocean tsunami, Hurricane Katrina and the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. He led efforts to ship over 20 million pairs of shoes to people and places hurt by natural disasters.
Creative fundraising ideas can come in many forms.
Some people are just not satisfied. That’s Wayne. He thought there was a way to help organizations raise money and make a global impact. He created Funds2Orgs with a team of dreamers who believe they could change the world. That single for-profit social enterprise eventually developed into The Funds2Orgs Group, which includes the Sneakers4Funds, ShoesWithHeart and Cash4Shooz brands.
The core of The Funds2Orgs Group business model is shoe drive fundraisers. The other components are to provide an economic opportunity for micro-entrepreneurs in developing nations and to help the environment by repurposing shoes. The Funds2Orgs Group helps YOU raise money with creative fundraising ideas, without asking for money or selling anything.

Prayer Ministry
First Line of Defense
Thank you for your yes to care for and minister to the youth at the Steubenville Youth Conference!
The group leader and adult chaperones are the primary ministers to the youth on the weekend. Please be sure to share all of this information with all adult chaperones and religious in your group.
The Team of Prayer Ministers
Prayer ministers will be wearing orange shirts and will be available on throughout the weekend. They may approach you to ask if you need assistance. Feel free to reach out to a prayer minister for help.
Role of Prayer Ministry
The role of prayer ministry is to serve and support you and your chaperones by offering spiritual assistance to the youth in your group. Prayer ministry is an extension of the ministry done by the ministry team from the stage and by you as the group leader and chaperones. They can assist you if there are several youth who need attention or if there is a particular situation that you and your chaperones are unsure how to handle.
Remaining Present
If a prayer minister does assist your youth, it is ideal to have an adult chaperone from your group present to watch over and pray with them as well, as it is good for the youth to have a familiar person present. In addition, it is the adult chaperone who will be going home with the youth. Therefore, he or she can continue to pray for and with the youth at home if needed. If this is not possible, know that the prayer minister will encourage the youth and let them know that group leaders and chaperones are there for them if need be.

Leading Small Groups
If you are leading a Small Group for the first time, here are a few tips to help!
- Remember to keep your questions open ended (avoid yes or no questions).
- Silence is okay in a small group. Sometimes the youth need time to think and process before answering.
- As the leader of the small group, avoid talking too much. This is a time for the youth to process their thoughts. If they have questions or need mentoring, give a shorter answer and let them know you can talk more together after the small group.
- The Small Group questions are meant to be a springboard for you to ask further questions and facilitate conversation among your group. Feel free to ask follow-up questions as they process. You can ask even more specific questions from the keynote content.
