- 7 Comment
I don’t know if we can get to 2008 reasons to do youth ministry, maybe I’ll be surprised. I will start with number 1 and then please add your reason via a comment and we will see how far down we make it. You can also forward this to others to see what other youth leaders reasons are. Maybe your reason is someones name, beating a student at Halo, picking off a Jr. higher with a dodge-ball, oh and spiritual reasons welcomed too.
1) To see the light bulb effect go off in a Jr. higher’s mind about God by the expression on his or her’s face….

Never having to pay for lunch on Thursdays (thanks to the leftover pizza)9) Because Jesus said so (”let all the children come to me”)
10) Because the seniors ministry needs SOMEONE to gripe at.
11) Because without youth ministry there’d be no rules for the church buildings
12) Because young people still believe they’re on an adventure, and that excitement is contagious and transformative.

13) ‘But how can people call for help if they don’t know who to trust? And how can they know who to trust if they haven’t heard of the One who can be trusted? And how can they hear if nobody tells them? And how is anyone going to tell them, unless someone is sent to do it?’ (Rom 10:14, Message)

14)For what the youth teach me about God.
15)A chance to revisit some great scriptures as if I’ve never heard them before (because some of the youth I’m teaching are hearing them for the first time).
16)To see if I can still stay up all night at a lock-in.
17)Because I’m lucky enough to be called to this ministry within the Church.January 16th, 2008 at 11:37 pm -
