The practical guide to today's family-based youth ministry
By Jim Burns & Mike DeVries
The most powerful force in a young person's life is his or her family. That's why youth experts Jim Burns and Mike DeVries have written Partnering with Parents in Youth Ministry.
This new approach to youth ministry has biblical roots: In Deuteronomy 6:4-9, believers are mandated to pass their family's faith legacy to the next generation. Partnering with Parents in Youth Ministry helps youth workers understand their unique role in helping families succeed. It provides an overview of family-based youth ministry, which focuses on equipping, encouraging and networking parents so that they can nurture the spiritual growth of their children. It's also packed with practical ideas--devotions, discussion starters, parent small-group curriculum, family retreats, parent retreats, games, forums and more--to help youth workers implement this life-changing ministry in their church.
Partnering with Parents in Youth Ministry is a breakthrough book that will guide youth workers as they reach parents and their children with the message of Christ's love and grace!
