Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most youth pastors find it a constant struggle to get enough money allotted to their ministry’s budget, and with the latest recession, they’re feeling the crunch now more than ever as churches are cutting costs anywhere they can. But a youth pastor doesn’t have to feel stuck. In this book, youth workers will find innovative ideas to help them discover useful resources in places they hadn’t looked before. In his 15 years of youth ministry, Lars Rood has had his share of tight budgets, and he found that by looking at things from a different perspective, he was able to make his ministry work with limited funds. Here, Rood helps youth workers discover resources in the things around them, or through partnerships and people around them. He offers hope and encouragement to (often) frustrated youth workers as he guides them toward a new perspective when it comes to their ministry budgets.

Book excerpt: Understanding youth culture in a particular time and place is one of the foundation stones upon which youth leaders build a youth ministry. Christian education, according to Richards, is the teaching and learning of Christian faith as culture--the reshaping of personalities into the image of Christ. The thesis of this book is that youth ministry must be viewed as youth and adults involved together in Scripture, in a body-of-Christ relationship, and in life. Richards shows what is involved in each of these elements as well as how to organize and program a ministry that, through such involvement, will lead young people to Christian maturity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Things have changed. The Truth has not. The 1950's are gone forever. The days of the Sunday school attendance award and the much-loved Sunday school picnic have faded into oblivion. Yet some youth ministries still operate as if today's kids are living in a vacuum, unaffected by the changing morals of today's society. How can we reach these kids with the truth of the gospel? More than fifty of America's youth experts give advice and encouragement to those who long to see this generation know the love of Christ. They help readers think through their philosophies of youth ministry, break down barriers that impede progress, and maximize their own gifts and the gifts of those who work with them. They answer tough questions such as: How can leaders build a relational youth ministry? How can we find and support volunteers? What are the issues women face in youth ministry? How do we minister in ethnic communities? How should we respond to popular culture? How can we help hurting adolescents? You can have a vibrant youth ministry even in these uncertain times. You can reach this generation for Christ.
Download or read book The Skinny on Volunteers written by Jonathan McKee and published by Group Publishing, Inc. . This book was released on 2015-05-28 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A youth ministry needs a solid group of volunteers to be truly effective. We youth workers all know this—but how do we make it happen? Let’s be honest: Many of us don’t do a great job of mobilizing volunteers and equipping them for ministry. Our plate is already full, and building a great team sounds like yet another task to add to the list. But what if your efforts to mobilize and equip volunteers actually lightened your schedule? What if this investment of time actually paid back double, quadruple, or even tenfold? The Skinny on Volunteers will help you concentrate on three simple skills that will help you build a crew of effective leaders: recruiting, keeping, and training volunteers. Yes, volunteers take time. But you’ll discover the rewards of investing in a team of people who will love teenagers, connect with them, and disciple them.
