Deploy them as a coach deploys a team to win a game against seemingly impossible odds (because you are!).
Start making your ministry about mission, not meetings; about making disciples, not more appointments; about accomplishing a vision, not a task list.
You know you want to. It’s why you got into youth ministry to begin with!
Meaningful youth ministry is the ember burning down deep in your heart. It may have cooled a bit over time, but it’s still there…sizzling…ready to be fanned into flame (2 Timothy 1:6).
Where to Begin
How do you even start to fan it? You pray! Pray for your teenagers! Pray for their lost friends and their schools! And pray for revival!
Then don’t stop praying until God brings it!
First, your connection with Jesus in prayer will turn this burning ember into a bonfire. Next it will become an inferno that consumes you, your teenagers, and your community for Christ.
As you pray, start “gospelizing” everyone and everything. Gospelize the people you meet, your teenagers, every talk, and every program. Gospelize your life.
In the Gospels and the book of Acts, engaging others with the message and mission of Jesus is what energizes every passage and page.
So stop wasting your life doing mere youth ministry.
And start leading the way for a different kind of youth ministry. It’s the kind of meaningful youth ministry we all should have been doing from the very beginning. To reach a generation through a generation in a generation.
