APRIL 10th Saturday night Kickoff. Monday, November 10, 2008. Congratulations you're a role model. Here is the scary truth: You are constantly communication a message to the kids you work with. They consciously and unconsciously take note of everything! Remember, young eyes focus on your life. Know how important you are! It is the way that you love and interact with these students that is going to make the biggest difference in their lives. Make sure that you are developing you relationship with Chri...

OFF ROAD leaders: Availability is next to Godliness

http://offroadleaders.blogspot.com/2009/02/availability-is-next-to-godliness.html

APRIL 10th Saturday night Kickoff. Tuesday, February 10, 2009. Availability is next to Godliness. We recently asked our youth group if they wanted more bible studies, more meetings, more speakers. They said they wanted more opportunities for discussion. Their response reminded me of a simple principle I often forget: Kids have a strong need to talk and be heard.

OFF ROAD leaders: Full-Time Youth Ministry Isn't What It's Cracked Up To Be

http://offroadleaders.blogspot.com/2008/12/full-time-youth-ministry-isnt-what-its.html

APRIL 10th Saturday night Kickoff. Saturday, December 6, 2008. Full-Time Youth Ministry Isn't What It's Cracked Up To Be. A paid ministry position can seem more glamorous that volunteer work. The impression is that full-time youth work is more fun, constantly affirming, and always filled with quality time with students. Not true! A paid position does not necessarily equal effectiveness. You can often have a more worthwhile ministry as a volunteer than in a paid ministry position. You are hugely valuable ...

OFF ROAD leaders: March 2009

http://offroadleaders.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html

APRIL 10th Saturday night Kickoff. Saturday, March 28, 2009. Let's delete the words, "I'm just a volunteer" from our vocaublary. If you are caring for kids, you are fulfilling a pastoral responsibility. I realize your denomination or church may not call you a pastor (and that's probably good), but you are not just a volunteer. You are a pastor to kids and should begin thinking like one. You may not have the title, but you fulfill the role. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Sign in: Elaina/ Barbara.

OFF ROAD leaders: September 2008

http://offroadleaders.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html

APRIL 10th Saturday night Kickoff. Tuesday, September 16, 2008. Compliments may be few and far between. From the Book: Help! I'm a volunteer youth worker! You've just returned home from a weekend retreat. You settle onto the couch and give thanks for the weekend's success. You're grateful your boss gave you the time off work. You're thankful God used your new truck to transport kids. Not getting reimbursed for the gas doesn't even matter to you. I'm sure you've already discovered the infrequency of prais...

APRIL 10th Saturday night Kickoff. Tuesday, April 28, 2009. Letters will get you everywhere. Kids love to get mail! I know teenagers who get excited opening envelopes addressed "occupant." Most kids are impressed when they get a personal letter- especially from you! Personal letter make kids feel special, knowing you spent time, energy, and money to send them a letter. They will remember. Often they will save the letter and post it on their bulletin board. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Sign in: Matt H.

OFF ROAD leaders: January 2009

http://offroadleaders.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html

APRIL 10th Saturday night Kickoff. Monday, January 12, 2009. Let Kids Know You Believe In Them. Kids have the power to make a difference in the world. They need to know that. Their growing years are filled with self doubt. They constantly question their existence. You can empower them with four simple words: "I believe in you." These words can transform impressionable adolescents in a world that views them as "excess baggage.". Leaders. I believe in you! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Sign in: Matt and Jill.
