Description
Youth pastors are leaving the ministry at an alarming rate. Burnt out and disillusioned, many of them have lost sight of their purpose: following God’s plan.
Author and pastor Jeff Lovingood believes that student pastors need to understand certain enduring principles in order to be successful in the long run. An invaluable resource for anyone working with students in the church, Make It Last outlines these principles and tackles important issues such as:
• Establishing a vision for youth ministry
• Creating a culture that balances evangelism and discipleship
• Building effective relationships with students, youth workers and volunteers, and other ministries
• Celebrating what God has done
Find out how embracing these guidelines will help you be renewed, inspired, and more effective as you guide young people in their spiritual growth.
