Finishing Well

I desire to finish well. That means I desire to make sure that I am doing everything thoroughly and right from the beginning. I have already begun designing the preliminary designs of the “if.” If I could start a youth ministry from scratch what would I do? Where would I start? I have decided already that I don’t want to DO youth ministry the way I DID youth ministry when I was the Youth Pastor at LBCC. I desire to bring the students to a depth and relationship with Christ that is within their capacity. One of the biggest “problems” I have seen with Youth Ministry is not realizing the spiritual capacity that teens have, and their desire to love a God of love. Also, I want to take my understanding of Emergent Church and blend it to the Youth Ministry that I will be working with… I am still developing these ideas, and praying heavily for an outpouring of God’s power to complete the work that he has set before me.
