This short introduction to the adventure of youth ministry is packed with valuable and practical advice for recruiting, motivating and developing volunteer leaders. With a strong emphasis on the need for teenagers to develop a personal relationship with Jesus, Jason Grant provides numerous ideas for developing a thriving youth ministry program including: building a Sunday School, creating small-group Bible studies, planning short-term mission trips, developing student leaders and serving in the local community.
This is a quick read and a good little book that will set part-time or lay leaders on the right track. Youth ministers also may find it a useful read for volunteers as the starting point of discussions at volunteer leadership meetings.
