Ministry to Students...

Now I am sure we all know that ministry to students takes an exceptional blend of teaching and relationships.  If only Jesus would have left us the secret combination as to the percentage that youth pastors should spend their time on.  I am a firm believer that Jesus taught the masses, taught his disciples, but invested the most time during his earthly ministry with just a few.  Amanda and I are currently trying to rethink our "Voltage" ministry to our students on Sunday mornings.  We have 45 minutes and for the most part I have always made Sunday AM a "mini" Wed. pm.  We have a game and then some sort of Biblically grounded lesson.  We are in the brainstorming process of how we can make Sunday mornings deeper relationally and spiritually.  We have the cream of the crop showing up on Sunday mornings and we get the opportunity to invest every week with these students.  The question still remains as to "how" we are going to use this time to its fullest potential.  Love God, Love Students.  Spend time with God, Spend time with Students.
