What's the best way to lead a short-term missions project with students?

I believe with all my heart that God is inviting us to Life with a capital L.

While I have a deep sense something is not right with our overly scheduled youth, I also have a deep sense God can and will meet my students on a sand bar, through the laughter they experience during a board game, and in Bible study and worship.

Chemistry. Communication. Commitment. Coffee?

How do we reach hurting teens? These youthworkers have ideas...

It was an innocent enough question. A stranger on the airplane simply asked, "What do you do for a living?" For most of the past four decades, the answer was an easy, automatic, "I'm a youth pastor." This time, I was frozen. I just wasn't sure what to say.

I love movies and I love youth ministry. These worlds often overlap when I’m preparing a lesson and use a scene or a movie clip becomes to illustrate my point.

Most bad talks in youth ministries aren't bad because sermons are bad. They're bad because we don't always understand how to use sermons or talks in youth ministry to their fullest potential.

As communicators in a culture saturated with storylines, we have the profound opportunity to invite our students into the masterful story of God.

Have teens that aren't empowered to serve? Maybe this will help...
