A Building a Youth Ministry That Builds Disciples

<p>While most youth pastors are being regularly evaluated (or even scrutinized) for what they're doing right now in the youth group the reality is that the most important thing they are doing won't actually be evident until much later. That's because the biggest challenge for any youth ministry is helping teens embrace a whole-hearted devotion to God that lasts far beyond their years in the youth room. Unfortunately much of youth ministry seems to be designed on the model of setting teenagers up for a date with God--a delightful evening that involves music laughter food and light conversation. But what scripture calls us to is not a one-night stand with God but a lifelong love of God that endures. Youth ministry educator and veteran Duffy Robbins offers youth workers a blueprint for building that kind of faith in teenagers. In this concise book ideal for busy youth workers they'll be equipped to build a youth ministry that instills that lasting faith in its students.</p>
