Well I've just been to a day with Doug Fields from Saddleback and about 450 youth leaders and workers and a few clergy types. It was hosted by our synod's youth ministry centre which is based in a congregation.
Doug is a great communicator and I think was good for many youth leaders. Not surprisingly I didn't agree with everything and at times felt that I had a very different framework, yet at the same time it is clear how much the "Purpose-Driven Youth Ministry" thing has elements of other youth ministry models over the past 2 decades (particularly US models). Very much a 'come to us' approach, yet very intentional.
Their website is Simply Youth Ministry.
I downloaded about 450 mb of free stuff from http://www.simplyyouthministry.com/freebies/freebies.asp/
Many of the files are samples from material which you can buy. There is a whole host of stuff.
Doug had a guy with him who is originally from Perth and now in the US who does a lot of design stuff for them.
Here's his website.
The stuff looked good and was quite reasonably priced.
Unfortunately I didnt get to talk to him as he was also staffing the book/resource stall. Nor did I even have my wallet with me, and based on the website, the resources were about half price on the day!
anyway, go and visit. three free images for starters.
