Product Description

Book Description
The definitive volume for youth ministry today, detailing nine foundations for purpose driven ministry - from the Youth Pastor of Rick Warren's acclaimed Saddleback Church.

From the Back Cover
If you long to reach kids and see their lives changed by God, this comprehensive guide shows you how. Purpose-Driven® Youth Ministry will do for youth ministry what Rick Warren's Gold Medallion award-winning, The Purpose-Driven® Church is doing for pastoral ministry. It's an indispensable guide to creating and maintaining youth ministry for the long run. It will help you create a solid spiritual team that builds the foundations of the Christian faith into the hearts and lives of young people. Forged around the fundamental purposes of evangelism, discipleship, fellowship, ministry, and worship, Purpose-Driven® Youth Ministry uses the experiences of Saddleback Church to illustrate what a healthy Youth ministry can be. Nine transferable principles help you - Connect with the power of God for passionate, committed leadership - Define the purpose of your ministry and communicate it effectively - Identify your potential audience - Create programs that reach your audience and fulfill God's purposes - Implement processes that move students to maturity - Enhance your ministry with clearly defined values - Team up with parents to involve the whole family - Find volunteers and develop them into participating leaders - Persevere through tough times and thrive in an ever-changing environment. Balancing both theory and practice, Purpose-Driven® Youth Ministry can be applied to any church setting, regardless of size, denomination, facilities, resources, and existing leadership. Purpose-Driven Youth Ministry will help you develop a ministry that equips students rather than a ministry that coordinates events. Doug Fields says, "My goal for this book is to coach you through a plan to build a healthy youth ministry that isn't dependent on one great youth leader and won't be destroyed when the youth worker leaves the church. It's not a book on how to grow your youth ministry with six easy steps; it's about identifying, establishing, and building health into your church's youth ministry.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book was the most beneficial book that I have ever read, 28 Jul 1999
By A Customer
This book focused on every aspect that a Youth Pastor/Leader would need. It gives you an in depth plan on how to lead this generation of young people. No longer does a Youth Pastor have to be an event coordinator, this book will give you principles on what you can do to lead a Youth Ministry into the 21st Century.

By A Customer
This is one awesome book. Our youth ministry for a along time has been stuck in the rutt of program after program after program. This book helped us take a step back and look over our youth ministry. Now we are begining to see wonderful healthy changes in our kids and I thank God for Doug Feilds,and his book PDYM. Every youth pastor or worker needs to read it! IT WILL CHANGE YOUR MINISTRY!
