I do not mean to burst your bubble as you come up with girls ministry ideas but we can no longer afford to do youth ministry as usual. Fun games and cool trips will no longer cut it. Our students have real hurts and needs and are dealing with real issues everyday. Our students are making choices that could literally cost them their lives each and every single day. We need to be speaking truth into our student’s lives. We need to discipling them. We need to have open and honest conversations with them that point them to God and to the truth of His word. We need to be reaching out to their parents or guardians so that there can be reinforcement of what we are talking about at home. This may not be new to you, but for those of you still in a bubble I encourage you to get out of it and really listen to your student’s conversations about what their lives are like and the choices they are making. It may shock you at first but hopefully then it will spur you on to greater ministry.
