Is your youth ministry going down the drain and you need to know the steps to fix that?
Are you not able to maintain a strong ministry to the younger generation and you want the specific steps to make this happen?
Are the adults in your congregation looking for a quick fix to how to make youth ministry work?
If you answered yes to the above questions then this is not the book for you.
If you are wondering how to build a thriving ministry to young people that will take time and failures to build and are ready to go into the trenches and work on youth ministry, then Sustainable Youth Ministry Is the book for you.
Mark lays out a wonderful plan for shaping all ministry. Helping the youth worker and pastors understand that we are only interims, that someone will follow us, and the things we do to pave the way for those that follow us. Mark gives us an understanding of ministry that is well thought out and organized that would fit many different aspects of ministry.
Beware thought, this is not a book that lays out the steps and tells you the 1 2 3 process of making your ministry work. Mark lays out steps to follow, but they are high level processes that if put in place will he secure a foundation upon which a successful ministry can be built. There is no cookie cutter to making it work but if you can follow the process and work within the responsibility it brings, the out come could be marvelous.
Mark has laid out an ideal understanding of what a youth ministry, or in my opinion any ministry, team should look and function like. These steps could help all ministries and congregation set a clear foundation for ministry for many years.
I highly recommend this book to all leaders in the church, from youth workers, to pastors, to volunteers in ministry. If we can all communicate and work together the foundation will be that much stronger and ministry will work that much easier.
