Many churches and Christian organizations have plowed money and
resources into youth ministry programs only to see their
initiatives wither along with their confidence and enthusiasm. As
the longtime editor of Youthwork magazine, Martin Saunders has
witnessed the fate of these programs but he also has observed
programs with vitality and longevity that have made long-lasting
differences in youths' lives.
In Youth Work from Scratch Saunders condenses his considerable
experience into short, easily digestible chapters that address the
nuts and bolts of a successful youth program. He uses case studies
to illustrate his principles and addresses starting new programs as
well as regenerating existing ones.
Saunders tackles both practical issues--such as how to handle a
first term as a leader, how to encourage young people to lead, how
to build for the long term, recruiting and training volunteers, and
what to do when leaders run out of steam--and strategic
questions--such as formulating and communicating a clear vision,
and identifying appropriate models of youth ministry. Additionally,
the book doesn't neglect attention to the spiritual essentials such
as adopting strong spiritual disciplines and soliciting prayer
support.
Youthwork from Scratch is a must for any church leader involved
in youth ministry.
