Work detailsFamily- Based Youth Ministry by Mark DeVries
None. He thinks: What if churches did more to keep families together than compartmentalizing them by age groups? I think this would be much healthier, and so does author DeVries. He makes a great case for surrounding students with meaningful and encouraging spiritual families, in both an immediate and extended sense. Good tips for implementation too. Very awesome book. If I put in place most of what is in here, my job satisfaction would go through the roof..  russell_duren | Jan 26, 2008 |  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0830832432, Paperback)Have you tried all the new youth programs? Have you planned one too many wacky activities? Are you frustrated about the size of the youth group? Here's an approach to ministry that takes youth work seriously. Family-based youth ministry is about adults discipling teens one-on-one and in groups. It is about involving not just the nuclear family but the whole church family--from singles to older adults. More important, it's about incorporating youth into the life of your church. So stop worrying about the size of your youth group or your budget. Mark DeVries's refreshing approach to youth ministry will show you how your church can reach today's teens and how you can keep them involved in the life of the church. Whether you are a parent, a youth pastor or a church member who cares about teens, you will find in this book an entirely different approach to youth ministry that will build mature Christian believers.(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 14 Feb 2013 13:45:53 -0500) No library descriptions found. |
