Building a Youth Ministry that Builds Disciples
Author: Duffy Robbins
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 031089073X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
While most youth pastors are being regularly evaluated (or even scrutinized) for what they’re doing right now in the youth group, the reality is that the most important thing they are doing won’t actually be evident until much later. That’s because the biggest challenge for any youth ministry is helping teens embrace a whole-hearted devotion to God that lasts far beyond their years in the youth room. Unfortunately, much of youth ministry seems to be designed on the model of setting teenagers up for a “date” with God—a delightful evening that involves music, laughter, food, and light conversation. But what scripture calls us to is not a “one-night stand” with God, but a lifelong love of God that endures.Youth ministry educator and veteran, Duffy Robbins, offers youth workers a blueprint for building that kind of faith in teenagers. In this concise book, ideal for busy youth workers, they’ll be equipped to build a youth ministry that instills that lasting faith in its students.

Building a Ministry of Spiritual Mentoring
Author: Jim Grassi
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
ISBN: 1401677940
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
There is nothing more fundamental to the Christian faith and to building godly men than discipleship. In today’s vernacular, discipleship would best be described as “Spiritual Mentoring.” Why are discipleship and mentoring so important? How does discipleship connect to men and the struggles they face today? Authentic discipleship is about developing a caring concern and a genuine love for others through modeling Christ-like attitudes and behavior in the context of relational environments. A fresh approach is needed to define, implement, and equip men with a passion to make disciples. It starts with relationship. Men are desperate for meaningful relationships both with God and other men. Building a Ministry of Spiritual Mentoring will help churches and ministry leaders create dynamic environments for men to experience real transformation and develop authentic Christian relationships. This proven method will assist your church or group in effectively developing and deploying a ministry of spiritual mentoring. Features include: Metaphors, anecdotes, and practical applications Proven tools for developing a ministry around spiritual mentoring Discussion questions

Designing A Program To Nurture Great Men of Faith, Character and Service in the Local Church
Author: Rev. Dr. Charles Falcone
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1304911373
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 129
Book Description
This thesis is written to investigate the gender gap that exists in current church membership throughout Western Christianity. Numerous studies have established that throughout all Christian churches in the United States, women outnumber men in attendance and membership. This paper is written with the hope of understanding the causes for disproportional involvement of men in the local church. We will investigate the factors of theological climate in the mainline church, sociological factors revolving around the Christian family, changing notions of work, vocation and gender roles, and sociological factors of heath and longevity. Our goal is to see an awakening in the masculine spirit at the church where the author currently serves
