Josh GriffinMore Posts Youth Worker Training on the Go

I was just recommending this book to another youth worker last week – and noticed the $30 is on sale this week for $7.99. Great deal, great resource!

Youth Leader Training on the Go is an easy way to train leaders and multiply your ministry’s effectiveness. Best of all, teenagers will grow deeper in their faith because you’ve invested in your volunteers.

Encourage your volunteers to:

Connect with God and build faith in every area of teenagers’ lives

Understand teenage culture for effective outreach

Discover practical, helpful ideas for ministering to teenagers

Work with parents to help their teenagers grow in faith

Find balance between ministry and personal life

This resource contains 52 training sessions for youth leaders. Encourage busy volunteers with these practical leadership tips. Everything you need for at least a full year’s worth of leadership training!
