There is no greater place in your community to impact more people for God than your local schools. For every child that attends a school, there is a family. For every teacher, staff and administrator there is a family. Many area businesses provide goods and services for the schools. There are very few people in your community that are not connected<
In 1727, a community of believers in Herrnhut, Saxony, in what is now the eastern edge of Germany, started praying.
They didn’t stop for 100 years.
About a hundred years ago, the area in Idaho to which we are moving was the second-largest sheep producer in the world; over a million of the wooly beasts used to graze the Pioneer Mountain foothills. To celebrate their rich heritage, area residents celebrate the Trailing of the
In January 2012, Josh McDowell and more than fifteen communications experts held a five day training experience for 60 young communicators who have experienced God’s call to a speaking ministry. Participants from 6 countries met for this unique event in which Josh shared a wealth of information that he has gleaned over the last 50 years.

To me, it is staggering that we have 32 million middle- and high school-aged students in our country. Youth are our nation's greatest natural resource and treasure. They are also a huge unreached people group for the gospel.
In my community, a student prayer movement began in January of 1998 at one suburban high school – but it didn’t stop there.
Two student leaders and about twenty other students at Maize High School began praying for a spiritual awakening on their campus, for the salvation of specific students, and opportunities to share Christ with them. In February
Do you feel stuck as you try to work together with others in reaching teenagers in your community? You may have been there from the beginning of your network -- it is pretty exciting to launch an effort to unite those in a community for youth ministry. But now that the newness has worn off and some of the core team may have moved to other

I love learning new things, new technology, and especially better ways to do youth ministry. I saw this video, and as usual, I have some questions for you. Watch and then respond.
This issue of YouthWorker Journal focuses on THE BEST. Follow any of these three links:
Ever feel alone in ministry? Boy, I sure have. I remember one time being so depressed that I could not even get off the floor to go to speak at my youth group. Isolation, abandonment and desperation can all combine to push us away from those who can help us most. Thankfully, I had friends in ministry who took the initiative and helped me work through my issues. But
I have been thinking about writing a post on this topic for a long time now because I believe it’s an important subject. Every time I think about this topic, Bill Withers classic song “Lean on Me” comes to mind. It’s true that as student pastors, we need other

This will sounds grossly arrogant, but I don't "need" a network. Now, let me clarify, I do not need a traditional network. I am in certain category, I am a 40 +, 22 year y
What do you do when a kid from another youth group shows up in your youth ministry?
I like using the word “etiquette” when talking about this issue in youth ministry because I doubt many youth workers think about “etiquette” when doing their jobs. Normally
Our society places a high value on rugged individuality. Many a hero sweeps in, saves the damsel, and defeats the enemy all on their own. Maybe there is a sidekick along for the ride. However, when it comes to transforming the lives of millions of teenagers, no one can do it alone.

Youthworkers are always asking the same question.
How can I get more help?!
It doesn’t take you long as a youth worker before you figure out this is the whole youth ministry game: recruiting, training, and deploying leaders. You are only as good as your team. You can only reach as many students as you ha
I’ve been in youth ministry for over five years, and one of the events I always look forward to is Disciple Now weekend. If you don’t know what Disciple Now is, it’s a weekend retreat filled with worship, bible studies, fellowships, and mission projects. Students stay at host homes, and in some sense, it’s like a wee
This month,YouthWorker Journal’s mission is to help you learn more about how to do mission work with your students.
The Roundtable on Living Missionally to the Ends of the Earth contains information from Terry Linhart, Don Richter, Hilary Alan and Steve Corbett, while Brad Griffin and Kara Powell talk to you about Sticky Service. Jon Huckins shares about Cultivating Sent Ones; and Jeff discusses the fact that while youth are long on passion, they’re short on experience.
Meanwhile, Suanne Camfield wants to help you break the habits that no longer serve your youth group and develop new habits that work for your team.
With the recent surge of interest in the Bible – thanks to The History Channel’s “The Bible” series and GSN’s “The American Bible Challenge” game show – does knowing the number of times Delilah tricked Samson, or remembering the name of the guy whose ear Peter cut off or reciting the ag
