I was listening to Rob Bell today and came across a great youth ministry quote that reflected what has been in my heart for our youth ministry:
"I saw the Giant youth ministry thing, where you just get a loud enough band and you get a speaker with enough funny stories about when they were young and you get a huge crowd, and try to get them all back the next week. I thought, there’s got to be a different way to do this. What if every kid who came to the youth group was hooked up with an adult mentor to disciple them, so every single kid had an adult contact that was leading them. So what if you started with the discipleship aspect, not the large performance entertainment aspect, and then try to get them discipled. What if you started with any kid who came here is being taught what it means to be a follower of Christ."
