Young Life's Uniqueness
leadership 2008 september 14
what makes yl unique?
- outreach
- not affiliated w a certain church
- relationship based!
--being at school is most important thing
-- about reaching the kids who wouldnt even think about church
1. go to them
john 1:14
the incarnation
- god in a bod, god coming to us
- god's contact work
john 10:10
in christ, we bring life to the full to youth
- lasts forever; nothing compares
mark 2:17
key to contact work: reaching the kids who are sick
- without going to them, we're missing the boat
mt 28:19-20
GO!
- very few ppl go; thats what we do
1cor2:2
- when we go, know nothing but christ and him crucified
-- anything else is death
how do we go?
- ftbl games, after school hang outs, school, mall, community events, any games, their job,
- know where kids are and show up
2. earn the right to be heard
- consistency, be intentional, listen, respect them, lose the cell phone, remember their names, be there for them not for young life
3. share our lives w them
1thess2:8
- be delighted to be w them
- make memories
- know administration
2 most important things:
1. love god (spend time growing our relationship w christ)
2. love your neighbor (love/know/go to kids)
