Perry Noble on Youth Ministry



Perry Noble has some thoughts on his blog on why youth ministry at NewSpring's going great. Here's my favorite, but make sure you check out the whole thing:

#2 – I made sure he was resourced. We don’t do car washes or bake sales…and we never have. I’ve read that over 85% of the decisions to follow Christ happen before the age of 18…if THAT ISN’T a ripe mission field then I don’t know what is. Churches don’t make the senior adults do a bake sale if they want to go somewhere…why in the heck do they make the students do it? (By the way…it’s ALWAYS been this way, so please don’t email me with, “What did you guys do when you were small?” We took care of our students…period!)

I'm so thankful that I serve at a church where the leadership and the lead pastor feels the same way!
