No two teens are alike! Each teenager is on a different level of spiritual maturity. That's why a youth worker's greatest challenge is developing a strategy that will serve the needs of young people, each at a distinct level of teenage development. This book will help you systematically develop a plan to reach young people of all ages and all levels of commitment. Here are practical strategies you can use to steer young people into appropriate programs at four different levels: "Come Level Ministry"--drawing them to Christ; "Grow Level Ministry"--nurturing the faith of those who give their lives to Christ; "Disciple Level Ministry"--helping them bridge the gap between their knowlege of God and how it applies to everyday behavior; "Leadership Level Ministry"--developing teenagers' skills and character so they can become mature disciplers of others. The Heart of Youth Ministry is exactly the youth ministry book you've been looking for--it strikes the balance between outlining a philosophy of ministry and giving a workable, nuts-and-bolts description of how to put it into practice in the real world.
