PRAYER
PRAYERThe youth leader who in daily prayer, falls penitently before
God seeking His direction, will be able to stand as an exceptional
mentor for youths.
PRAYERPrayer is the breath of the soul. It is the secret of spiritual power. No other means of grace can be submitted, and the health of the soul is preserved. Prayer brings the heart into immediate contact with the Wellspring of life, and strengthens the sinew and Muscles of the [youth leader] religious experience. {GW 254}
PRAYERPrayer Is the MASTERKEY to
unlock the door to all the other imperatives.
“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without
reproach, and it will be given him.” James 1:5 ESV
VISION
VISIONClearly, vision is an essential element needs to be in those who are called to
lead youth. Considering the age differences, culture and other factors involved in youth ministry, having a
clear communicated vision is a must.
VISION“Without prophetic vision people run wild,but blessed are those who follow
God’s teachings.” Proverbs 29:18
DISCIPLE
DISCIPLE"All mankind is of one author, and is one
volume; when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and
every chapter must be so translated...As therefore the bell that rings to a sermon,
calls not upon the preacher only, but upon the congregation to come:
DISCIPLEso this bell calls us all: but how much
more me, who am brought so near the door by this sickness....No man is an
island, entire of itself...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to
know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee." John Donne (1572-1631).
Seek to get followers.
DISCIPLEHow do you create followers?

SHARE
SHARELook for opportunities in your
individual youth ministry in your church to work with other
departments instead of having youth ministry isolated.
SHAREGive the youth the change to share their talents in the other ministries of the Church, after all, youths are the ones to complete the Work of evangelism before Jesus returns . Be an example in this endeavor.
TEAM
TEAMEver youth leader who wishes to be
effective but understand the value of team work and implement it.
TEAMDon’t be afraid to be outshining by
others. Appreciate and utilize the talents of others to impact the work.
TEAMBe intentional to create a team of
leaders around you. It is the select group from your disciples. It takes a team to
make an effective youth ministry. Involve other in the work.
RESEARCH
RESEARCHDon't get locked into your hear and now
or the ‘this is what work in my days’ mentality. A seed that does not grow is dried up. Spend quality time in personal development. If you want to be effective you must have the ability to be a lifelong
learner.
RESEARCH.A healthy youth ministry is led by someone who invest in their own
personal development. They read books & blogs, interact with others, acquire new resources, and learn new ways of
practicing ministry.
RESEARCHStudy the culture of the youths, (interest, lifestyle, dress, talks, etc.) and know how
to relate. Lol xoxo/HAK TTYL ATM
ADMINISTRATION
ADMINISTRATIONIt is not being selfish it is being
responsible to your call. YOU ARE THE LEADER. Lead, manage, and provide foresight to the ministry you are a
steward of.
ADMINISTRATIONIf you are not the best administrator
learn while recruiting people around you to help you manage the ministry God has given you, which will position you to be
an effective administrator. Don't do everything, but you are the
leader of everything.

MENTOR
MENTORFind persons to be mentors or advisors
to you. They might be youth leaders who have egress the front line duties. However, having such mentors in your live will be beneficial to being a good
steward.
NETWORKConnect with other people in the
trenches. Share information, ideas or programs. Don't be a lone ranger. Trust me on this, connect with other youth
workers and connect regularly to share ideas and pray for each other. It will is far better than trying to do it all by yourself.
Don't compete complete.
Have A Positive Attitude
Have A Positive AttitudeThere is nothing more damaging to youth ministry than a cranky leader.
Don't you complain the entire time, or else that is what will characterized your ministry. Even in the worst of times you need to be able to put on a calm face. Keep your focus on the good in every
situation.
ConclusionI have a deep interest in the youth, and I
greatly desire to see them striving to perfect Christian characters, seeking by diligent study and earnest prayer to gain
the training essential for acceptable service in the cause of God. I long to see
them helping one another to reach a higher plane of Christian experience.
ConclusionChrist came to teach the human family the way of salvation, and He made this
way so plain that a little child can walk in it. He bids His disciples follow on to know
the Lord; and as they daily follow His guidance, they learn that His going forth
is prepared as the morning.
ConclusionYou have watched the rising sun, and the gradual break of day over earth and sky. Little by little the dawn increases, till the
sun appears; then the light grows constantly stronger and clearer until the
full glory of noontide is reached.
ConclusionThis is a beautiful illustration of what God desires to do for His children in
perfecting their Christian experience. As we walk day by day in the light He sends
us, in willing obedience to all His requirements, our experience MOH 15
