Investing
As we minister to students we need to realize that the we make the biggest impact on their lives as we invest in their lives and that sort of investment takes time.
- Look for opportunities to:
- Attend student’s athletic events
- Attend student’s recitals and concerts
- Hang out with students during Hang Time
- Go on youth trips and events with the students
- Have some students over to eat or go with them to a movie or out to eat or shopping.
- Sit with them at a worship gathering on Sunday
When we do the opportunities listed above it makes a huge impact on the students. It’s amazing the impact on a student’s life when they know you took time out of your life to cheer them on in the stands or play a game of Skip Bo or Apples to Apples with them.
Some students that attend Contagious Youth and become part of our youth group and ministry do not have Christian adults at home to model the life of a Christian for them so the students will look to us.
