How to help your Schools through Youth Ministry

Most of us has experienced the craziness of Junior High and High School.  Just like everyday life we have our ups and downs.  I remember some days where I thought I’d never make it, which caused me to make chaotic choices.  The choices we make in our youth sometimes determine the rest of our lives.  It is important to impact the youth with the message of Jesus.  On average, 11 percent of students attend church in the United States. 

Read this additional article to get a better understanding of why kids don't want to go to church.  

Understanding how the youth of this nation think is key to figuring out how to approach them.  Over 95 percent of youth attend school.  That is one of the largest mission fields in America. Why doesn't that 95 percent attend church?  I am not in a high school 5 days a week for 8 hours a day.  The route to take is to start School Ministry out of the 11 percent that attend the church.  Teaching them and giving them the tools to reach that 95 percent. 

These individuals need to pray for their schools daily and have a passion to tell the story of Jesus to share the story of how their life has changed.  Not everyone will listen, but the ones that do could be the individual that could change the world.  Pastors, leaders, and volunteers will never be able to reach the youth like our students can. 

Youth leaders should already be passionate about reaching this generation and struggle to find ways to spread the love and peace in the schools that are one mile down the street.  This is the way to go and the quickest route to take.  It is important to understand that it won’t happen overnight, but it is a starting point and will be rewarding in the end. 

"Do not let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity."  - 1 Timothy 4:12

Young people need models, not critics.
