The questions in this working paper are intended to provide food for thought and to help start a conversation between church leadership and youth group leaders in order to eliminate possible weaknesses in the church - youth group relationship
The goal of BESJ ministries is to win young people for Jesus and the church and to intentionally nurture them.
You youth leaders do an outstanding job! I think it is great with what passion and commitment you often fight Saturday after Saturday for children and teenagers in your age groups!
Nobody will deny that the Ameisli, Jungschar and teen work costs something. But - who is going to pay for it? The youth leaders? The church? Sponsors? Or simply donors?
Jungle leaders contribute much to the building of the house of "church" as "builders."
Where and how do they help?

For a long time, the church of F. has regularly held interesting meetings for the family members of the youth and teenagers. Everyone is invited - "family" is not seen so much genetically as "spiritually". Everyone is invited to be part of the "family of God". Here even singles, grandmas, neighbor kids, single mothers .... feel comfortable. The meetings are organized by families or small teams from the community. The focus is not on perfect organisation, not on a stylish programme, but on fellowship, games, fun, conversations, spontaneity, mutual service, encouragement and sharing.
