Our team first formed in 2001, bonded together by a belief that youth ministries can be effective when built on the methods Jesus used to make disciples. In the next ten years we will train 200 Disciple-making Youth Ministers and 20 Movement Leaders who will make a difference in the church and in the lives of young people. We are intentionally putting our best time and resources into this band of young leaders, who we pray will spark a movement among youth.

Craig Elliott, Belfast
Can you pray, volunteer or partner with us to equip a generation of disciple-makers?

This is the second blog in a two-blog series. To read the first post click here. A NEW APPROACH One of my youth ministry professors always liked to quote the proverb about leading a horse to water but you cannot make him drink. “That is true, she said, but you can feed the horse salt!” […]

This is a continuation of Darin’s article from last week. What is my picture of a great volunteer? If it’s someone in their 20’s with a great haircut and maybe even a piercing or tattoo or two, think again. The adult leaders who had the biggest impact in my life were in their 40’s, 50’s […]

One of the joys – and challenges – of working with teenagers is helping them to experience God in the normal places of life. Non-churched young people often assume that ‘God’ is that thing people do at a church building on Sunday morning. Those more familiar with church often assume, “If I want to connect […]
