NEW: Youth Ministry Ideas getting totally redesigned!
I’ve been living off of free for a long time and not that there is anything right or wrong about it, however I have decided to step out in faith to ask if you would consider a donation to help me redesign my site.
I know, it’s the “D” word. This word is just like the “F” word (fundraising of course - what were thinking?).
Now I have to create a case as to why you should give. That’s a great question because now I have to evaluate if Youth Ministry Ideas is worth it - I think that it is.
The following are some reasons why you should consider a donation from your youth budget:
- FREE ideas - You can’t get any better than free right? I don’t mean the kind of free that is free for awhile and then later I charge you for access to my site.
- Youth Ministry Ideas From the World - You can now register and submit what your game ideas are, lesson ideas, worship ideas, leadership ideas, and more all for free. I have one writer that is from the UK which many have clicked on his great material. My site isn’t limited to the states.
- Freshness - Every week there is something new for you here to think about or use for your youth ministry. It’s nice to keep getting new ideas to keep you fresh.
- Give-A-Ways - Anything from cash to gift cards will be given away to lucky email subscribers.
- Video Demonstrations - My next project is to add video demonstrations and encouragement. These demonstrations will help you “see” how a game works or doesn’t - but hopefully works, leadership tips, encouragement. This will be a great future benefit.
- Lessons - My site currently doesn’t have many lessons on here, but I will be adding powerpoint lessons along with my notes for you to tweak any way you like.
- More - As more ideas become available I will share them with you.
Give whatever you believe you should give, but I want to make a suggestion that you consider spending a one time $10 out of your youth ministry budget. Currently I have between 250 - 270 subscribers and if each subscriber donated $10 I would have the necessary funds to complete this project. Plus, I have many more visitors that aren’t subscribers too.
Currently right now I’m in the 1st page of google for keywords, “youth ministry” and #1 for “youth ministry ideas” and I want to keep providing resources and fresh ideas to those in youth ministry and the new design will be sweet.
I highly suggest using your youth ministry budget because that what your budget is used for. I’m certain you have a curriculum or youth supplies category that you could tap into - there always is the miscellaneous category right;)
Any left over donations will be going back into the site as a prize or added feature. Thanks so much again for your participation. I’m looking forward to seeing the changes.
To help out, click on the DONATE button in the upper right-hand corner of the site. Funds are being accepted through paypal, but you don’t need a paypal account in order to give.
It will still be in blog format and it will be worth it for you!

I just want to make sure that no one thinks that I did the redesign. A few people have asked me that… while I’ve known for a few weeks that I was going to be working there, I just started yesterday… which was by coincidence when the new site really made a public launch. In fact, Cathy led the whole project and I think she did an awesome job.
I don’t think you made that leap, but I would never want people to read that and think that the two lines there are related.Anyway, I’m totally excited about starting at YS. Thanks for noticing!
