PRAYER

PRAYERThe youth leader who in daily prayer, falls penitently before

God seeking His direction, will be able to stand as an exceptional

mentor for youths.

PRAYERPrayer is the breath of the soul. It is the secret of spiritual power. No other means of grace can be submitted, and the health of the soul is preserved. Prayer brings the heart into immediate contact with the Wellspring of life, and strengthens the sinew and Muscles of the [youth leader] religious experience. {GW 254}

PRAYERPrayer Is the MASTERKEY to

unlock the door to all the other imperatives.

“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without

reproach, and it will be given him.” James 1:5 ESV

VISION

VISIONClearly, vision is an essential element needs to be in those who are called to

lead youth. Considering the age differences, culture and other factors involved in youth ministry, having a

clear communicated vision is a must.

VISION“Without prophetic vision people run wild,but blessed are those who follow

God’s teachings.” Proverbs 29:18

DISCIPLE

DISCIPLE"All mankind is of one author, and is one

volume; when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and

every chapter must be so translated...As therefore the bell that rings to a sermon,

calls not upon the preacher only, but upon the congregation to come:

DISCIPLEso this bell calls us all: but how much

more me, who am brought so near the door by this sickness....No man is an

island, entire of itself...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to

know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee." John Donne (1572-1631).

Seek to get followers.

DISCIPLEHow do you create followers?

SHARE

SHARELook for opportunities in your

individual youth ministry in your church to work with other

departments instead of having youth ministry isolated.

SHAREGive the youth the change to share their talents in the other ministries of the Church, after all, youths are the ones to complete the Work of evangelism before Jesus returns . Be an example in this endeavor.

TEAM

TEAMEver youth leader who wishes to be

effective but understand the value of team work and implement it.

TEAMDon’t be afraid to be outshining by

others. Appreciate and utilize the talents of others to impact the work.

TEAMBe intentional to create a team of

leaders around you. It is the select group from your disciples. It takes a team to

make an effective youth ministry. Involve other in the work.

RESEARCH

RESEARCHDon't get locked into your hear and now

or the ‘this is what work in my days’ mentality. A seed that does not grow is dried up. Spend quality time in personal development. If you want to be effective you must have the ability to be a lifelong

learner.

RESEARCH.A healthy youth ministry is led by someone who invest in their own

personal development. They read books & blogs, interact with others, acquire new resources, and learn new ways of

practicing ministry.

RESEARCHStudy the culture of the youths, (interest, lifestyle, dress, talks, etc.) and know how

to relate. Lol xoxo/HAK TTYL ATM

ADMINISTRATION

ADMINISTRATIONIt is not being selfish it is being

responsible to your call. YOU ARE THE LEADER. Lead, manage, and provide foresight to the ministry you are a

steward of.

ADMINISTRATIONIf you are not the best administrator

learn while recruiting people around you to help you manage the ministry God has given you, which will position you to be

an effective administrator. Don't do everything, but you are the

leader of everything.

MENTOR

MENTORFind persons to be mentors or advisors

to you. They might be youth leaders who have egress the front line duties. However, having such mentors in your live will be beneficial to being a good

steward.

NETWORKConnect with other people in the

trenches. Share information, ideas or programs. Don't be a lone ranger. Trust me on this, connect with other youth

workers and connect regularly to share ideas and pray for each other. It will is far better than trying to do it all by yourself.

Don't compete complete.

Have A Positive Attitude

Have A Positive AttitudeThere is nothing more damaging to youth ministry than a cranky leader.

Don't you complain the entire time, or else that is what will characterized your ministry. Even in the worst of times you need to be able to put on a calm face. Keep your focus on the good in every

situation.

ConclusionI have a deep interest in the youth, and I

greatly desire to see them striving to perfect Christian characters, seeking by diligent study and earnest prayer to gain

the training essential for acceptable service in the cause of God. I long to see

them helping one another to reach a higher plane of Christian experience.

ConclusionChrist came to teach the human family the way of salvation, and He made this

way so plain that a little child can walk in it. He bids His disciples follow on to know

the Lord; and as they daily follow His guidance, they learn that His going forth

is prepared as the morning.

ConclusionYou have watched the rising sun, and the gradual break of day over earth and sky. Little by little the dawn increases, till the

sun appears; then the light grows constantly stronger and clearer until the

full glory of noontide is reached.

ConclusionThis is a beautiful illustration of what God desires to do for His children in

perfecting their Christian experience. As we walk day by day in the light He sends

us, in willing obedience to all His requirements, our experience MOH 15
