Rolly Richert was a hero to many of us in youth ministry — an example of perseverance, creativity, commitment, humility and building others. He advanced the cause of youth ministries on hundreds of fronts and impacted millions of lives, most often from behind the scenes.
Rolly received his reward in the presence of our Savior on February 10, 2012 — much earlier than we expected. His memorial service is on Wednesday, February 15. Here are some reflections of a few of us at our Network staff meeting.
