Youth Ministry Across The Continents: Eleven Youth Pastors From Ten Countries On The Key Building Blocks For Effective Youth Work Leadership In The Local Church

Most youth workers across the world look for ideas, inspiration and practical advice to help them with their ministry, yet most of us don't look beyond our own country for advice. Yet there is an incredible wealth of practical wisdom available from vastly experienced youth pastors around the world to help answer core issues such as: how to look after your own soul; relate to parents and senior church leaders; get organised; lead in evangelism; communicate effectively with young people; lead a team; care for youth; balance ministry and family life; work with schools; and how you know how you are called (to youth ministry) in the first place!

The publisher spent over two and a half years painstakingly bringing together the wisdom and stories of eleven experienced youth pastors from ten different countries on each and every one of these core issues. The book contains over 160 years' worth of international youth work experience gained over the last three decades! Inspiring, practical and educational this book will provide you with brilliant nuggets of wisdom you'd never thought of. You will find yourself comparing and contrasting their stories and reflecting on your own ministry, wherever you live. Many of the contributors are still serving as local youth pastors - men and women serving in different nations, cultures and denominations. Despite significant challenges they have lasted the distance and have seen God do amazing things in the lives of young people.
This book will open your eyes to see that God reigns over the nations and is clearly at work in the lives of young people and youth workers across the continents!
