Colin Spragg write on the youth ministry
He reviewed a book called "Family based youth ministry" by Mark DeVries.
There are two key priorities.
1. Empower parents to nurture their children's faith
2. Equip the extended family of the church to be a 'family for our tennagers.'
The latter is particularly important for un churched youth, including those from non-traditional families. They need a circle of Christian adults to model the Christian life for them.
We cannot ignore the special needs of youth. make the changes necessary to minister effectively to young people and their families?
We need to see ministry to youth as a family affair, not merely a baby sitting unit.
