THE ON MISSION CHURCH NETWORK YOUTH MINISTRY
Special Events for
Youth
-
Remember, informal is
often better than formal for youth. Have a snack
supper featuring a missionary guest. Serve an
easy meal, like pizza, a taco buffet, 50-foot
submarine sandwich, or fast-food feast featuring
several different selections. Following the snack
supper, the guest missionary could share a personal
testimony, perhaps particularly emphasizing his or
her call to missions.
-
Plan a worship
experience outside of the church. For example,
during the regular time for an evening service, a
guest missionary or local service or charity
professional/volunteer could lead the youth to serve
in a soup kitchen, homeless shelter, or food pantry,
visit a nursing home or assisted living center, or
help in a crisis pregnancy center. Your local
association might have other ideas about where youth
could experience missions firsthand. After the youth
and missionary/guest have ministered to others,
there could be a short time of testimony and praise.
-
Lead youth to put
together "care packages" in
response to specific needs cited by a missionary,
your local association, local charity/service
organizations.

On-Mission Youth Strategies
|
|
 |
| A mission education strategy is a
church-based plan to reach one of the nine fields of lost people and transform
participants by teaching missionary skills and leading them into an on-mission
lifestyle. It includes a personal commitment to Christ, an awareness,
understanding, and an accountable commitment to reach lost people in the
strategic field within a specified time period. It requires resources,
leaders/mentors, evaluation, and advocation. Tools to support strategies include
projects, products, and training. |

Purpose-Filled, Mission-Skilled—Youth Resource Kit
Today’s
Christian youth are searching for purpose. They are
looking for ways to "plug in" to their
church’s global mission and make their lives count for
eternity. They have the head knowledge and the heart
knowledge but sometimes lack the skills and
understandings necessary to make that vision a reality.
Through this study, youth will discover what it means to
be an on mission Christian who realizes his primary
purpose is to fulfill God’s mission. Youth will be
introduced to skills, strategies, and applications of
the on mission lifestyle, and will ultimately be led to
commit to and engage in relevant on mission
applications. Materials include a teaching guide,
video-tape, activity sheets, and one copy of the
participant’s self-study workbook.
