Quit youth work
or how to drop the work and start a friendship.
Recently I have been challenged by the story of a UK youth worker (James Vaughton) who decided to quit his job as a youth worker and spend his time investing in his own children and just one or two young people in his church. No more time organising social get-togethers, sending and answering emails, collecting permission slips, planning and preparing relevant, interactive bible studies. No this youth worker has courageously put his money where his heart is and is actually living the youth work mantra ‘People not programmes.’
What would your church look like if it stopped it’s youth programmes and committed to making relationship the building block of discipleship?
