Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you long to reach kids and see their lives changed by God, this comprehensive guide shows you how. Purpose Driven® Youth Ministry will do for youth ministry what Rick Warren's Gold Medallion award-winning, The Purpose Driven® Church is doing for pastoral ministry. It's an indispensable guide to creating and maintaining youth ministry for the long run. It will help you create a solid spiritual team that builds the foundations of the Christian faith into the hearts and lives of young people. Forged around the fundamental purposes of evangelism, discipleship, fellowship, ministry, and worship, Purpose Driven® Youth Ministry uses the experiences of Saddleback Church to illustrate what a healthy Youth ministry can be. Nine transferable principles help you - Connect with the power of God for passionate, committed leadership - Define the purpose of your ministry and communicate it effectively - Identify your potential audience - Create programs that reach your audience and fulfill God's purposes - Implement processes that move students to maturity - Enhance your ministry with clearly defined values - Team up with parents to involve the whole family - Find volunteers and develop them into participating leaders - Persevere through tough times and thrive in an ever-changing environment. Balancing both theory and practice, Purpose Driven® Youth Ministry can be applied to any church setting, regardless of size, denomination, facilities, resources, and existing leadership. Purpose-Driven Youth Ministry will help you develop a ministry that equips students rather than a ministry that coordinates events. Doug Fields says, "My goal for this book is to coach you through a plan to build a healthy youth ministry that isn't dependent on one great youth leader and won't be destroyed when the youth worker leaves the church. It's not a book on how to grow your youth ministry with six easy steps; it's about identifying, establishing, and building health into your church's youth ministry.

Download or read book 101 Ways to Attract Retain and Train Teens and Youths in Your Church written by Albert O. Aina and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-05-11 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God called me with three mandates. One of them was to: "Give Youths a sense of purpose and achievement." As at the time of this writing, I have been involved in Teens and Youths ministry for thirty three (33) years. I started out in 1982 as Assistant Secretary/ Librarian, Student Christian Movement (SCM) University of Nigeria, Enugu campus. I set up fellowship library during my tenure. I served as State General Secretary Nigerian Christian Coppers Fellowship (NCCF) Niger State. I preached my first open air crusade as a Youth Corper in 1984. I was appointed as a Youth Pastor in First Baptist Church after my service year. When I later joined Foursquare Gospel Church, Shomolu in 1986, I served variously as Membership Chairman, Organizing Secretary, Vice President, and President, of the 2000 strong church. The assignment that got me into the main stream of teens and youth work was when I was appointed President, Agape Conference International. This conference has played host to thousands of Teens and Youths annually since 1984, attracting participants from about 400 churches representing 203 denominations from 33 states of Nigeria. It has been my privilege to preside over this conference since 1987 till date. I have been pastoring youth oriented churches for over two decades and currently serving as District Overseer. Teens and Youth ministry has remained my major focus. 80% of our present 1,000 strong congregations are under 30 years old. I wrote this book to document my over thirty years practical experience in teens and youths ministry. It is my conviction that it is much easier and cheaper to prepare young people than to repair old adults. The dropout rate of youths and teens from churches is alarming. Old generation churches are lamenting the "loss" of youth population to "new" generation chapels. The real actual loss is the loss of our teens to drug abuse, nominalism, premarital sex and cultism. Most pulpits in the land don't have the answer, except platitudes and living in denial. Clergy are still living with old realities. Analog minds on the pulpit cannot provide answers to the questions of digital minds in the pews. We need to download the unchanging words of God to the contemporary world in a timely fashion. This is why I wrote this book. How do we Pastor the Facebook Generation? This book provides practical insights, based on proven experience. How do we make Teens to develop interest in our churches and Bible studies? How do we set up Teens Church? How can we have more youth friendly churches? How do we engage the youth culture? How do we invade the Teens world on what to wear, why sex must wait and many other burning issues? This is why I wrote this book of hundred chapters. This book can be used as training manual for Youth Leaders and Youth Ministers. I highlighted 56 out of 100 lessons I have learnt in thirty years of Teens and youth ministry. You can learn from either of both sources mistakes or mentors. This book, 101 Ways To Attract, Retain And Train Youths And Teens In Your Church, will prevent you from making the mistakes that are common with youth leaders. The book comes handy as a mentorship manual. Read it chapter by chapter in leadership group discussions.
