Welcome to tip #3 of our journey to help prepare your student ministry to grow after the shelter at home order is lifted. We started with your call from God. Last week, we gave you a prayer tool to help get your church behind the student ministry. And now, we are going to empower those students to begin growing your ministry. It is a very simple concept that doesn’t get enough street cred: Talk to God about your friends before talking to your friends about God. And measure it. Check it out:
In all of life, you have to have something to measure. If you don’t, how can you get anyone to join you? Everyone wants to be a part of something that is bigger than themselves! The best way to help people see that this something is your student ministry is to show results. In todays tip I challenge you to set goals and build your ministry though prayer. After all, if we don’t have the air cover we will never win the ground war.
- If I do not measure it, I do not ________ about it.
- Know __________ how many resources are needed.
- Develop your __________ for student led prayer.
*** Give your students the _________ friend challenge.
Once you watch the video, download the homework sheet (it has the fill in words for these blanks). Be ready for Day 4!! Tomorrow we give you a tool that will help the words of Jesus come out of the mouths of your student leaders!
See you tomorrow!
