The Priorities, Challenges, and Trends in Youth Ministry

From Barna.com

This graphic is just a glimpse of the priority polled churches put on the importance of youth ministry. The whole article takes a look at the focuses of youth ministries and the difficulties also associated with youth of today's culture. While this article gains it's research from US churches, it is a fantastic resource as we consider youth ministry in our own environments.

Spread the Word Resources

In mid-September, we were thrilled to have RW Moody (3WLN Attendee) and three other leaders representing Spread the Word connecting in our region. We were able to explain a bit about ministry context here and connect with some of our 3WLN leaders in Germany and Italy. It was a great trip and the STW group left excited about the momentum and potential happening with all of you. The STW group wanted to be sure to make available some of the resources they've collected over the years. In particular, they highlighted their 5 Principle Training which is a core training for youth ministry and is available online at http://www.chogy.org/5-principle-training
