In search of opportunities for evangelistic children's or youth work. A critical analysis with the aim of finding positive approaches for evangelism!

Kids who are "just being disruptive" in our Jungschar:
Why do they just have to be in our youth group?

This season, we will look at the story of William Tyndale, who translated the Bible from Hebrew into English. Through this story, we will be able to show children the importance of the Word and that we should be thankful to have it in a language that is accessible to us. We will experience different things that are part of the story.
For a long time the church of F. has regularly made interesting meetings for the family members of the youth and teenagers. Everyone is invited - "family" is not seen so much genetically as "spiritually".
The family is a family
The idea of this EPA afternoon is to continue with the story of the Secret of the Wildwood, having adventures with Ruth and Philip and making the connection that a life without sickness and sorrow awaits us in heaven.

Jugend und Sport is an organization in Switzerland that supports Swiss sports and youth clubs in their work.

You can also do races in the water. Perform forward and backward in knee-, hip- and chest-deep water in succession. In deep water, assist with strong arm movements.
In the new quarter of our EPA season, we are starting a new theme that is all about different short stories. They are related to children or animals that God uses in amazing ways. The next story we will look at is about a little five-year-old girl named Mariana who had become a missionary at a young age.

If you want to make a movie with a group of teenagers over a longer period of time, you can use the existing script or decide on your own book or story.

As a youth group, our aim is to pass on a word from the Bible to young people and adults in addition to sporting competitions. A prominent guest is also invited each time.

We have now playfully introduced ourselves to the forest floor. However, have we really noticed what it has on the ground?

Throughout the four seasons, we draw various comparisons to ourselves based on nature:
Spring - preparation
Summer - growth
Autumn - Harvest
Winter - resting

Empowerment has a lot to do with trust, acceptance, personal commitment and empathy. These things can only be partially learned. However, every leader should know what "motivation buttons" there are in relation to children (but also adults). Experienced leaders use the motivators that are appropriate to the situation and person.

With our little gift ideas, we would like to motivate you to make useful souvenirs with your children and thus bring joy to other people.
The splash of color on the kitchen table!

A look at Swiss sport, schools and even beyond the country's borders shows that commitments are a topical issue. A selection of projects and addresses.
Create and play a creative commercial so that every child has the opportunity to contribute their ideas. Every child is actively involved in the commercial, so no exclusion or indifference is possible.

To get to know the children's parents better, they can be invited to a meal. The meal is prepared with the children and the parents can only come at the arranged time, sit down and enjoy the cooked meal.

"A good picture is worth a thousand words; a bad one must be explained in a thousand words." You have many options with good photos. Here are a few ideas:

There are various tournament forms, both well-known and little-known.
Choose which one is best for your group and your occasion.
Participants are divided into teams according to their number. Preferably a team should have between 4-7 participants.
Teams compete against each other, against time and on the basis of a given task, involving all members.
The team that completes the task first accumulates points. The team with the most points wins.
The game is suitable both indoors and outdoors.
Ideas for tasks could be: working windmill (exemplified in the picture: we have the structure in the middle and the propeller is made of participants moving around the structure), rocket, fish just caught, wheelbarrow full, formula 1 car, etc.
The preparation of the game requires no material.
The idea of this EPA afternoon is to continue with the story of The Secret of the Wildwood, experiencing adventures with Ruth and Philip and making the connection that everyone needs repentance.

This article is all about quartets. It is intended to be a collection thread and a game guide at the same time. So, if you have quartet templates, simply attach them under Templates. (Note: Please respect copyright!)

The teenagers create their own newspaper. The newspaper should be their mouthpiece, which is published (as uncensored as possible).

30 Years Jungschar Rüti
The anniversary celebration is a good opportunity to come out to the public, but also just to thank God for his faithfulness and preservation thought the now active leaders.
This article is a Forum booklet article.

In the digital age, a web presence for one's group is almost indispensable. Many churches already have a website. If there is the possibility to present there all the important information of your Jungschar, this offers itself, because this is free of charge for you. However, it is not always possible to present your youth group there to the necessary extent

Enterprises are larger games and sporting events in camp, such as:
- Olympiads
- Games tournaments
- Major competitions
- Games festivals

Young people's groups that work together with the regional church should definitely bear some special features in mind
The idea of this EPA afternoon is to continue with the story of The Secret of the Wild Wood, having adventures with Ruth and Philip and making a connection so we are ready to give it our all, however small.
