Living with God using the example of Daniel
I wanted to tackle the meaning of the cross with our church youth group, aged 12+, who are predominently not church-going children.
Below is an outline for a talk which worked really well for us as the framework for an evening around a campfire - taking the group through from an easy introduction to symbols and logos through to a biblical presentation of the meaning of the cross.
We finished the evening with a challenge to the children; to make them think more carefully about the cross and what it means to them. You may want to change this to better suit the type of group you have, and where they are on their spiritual journeys.

A paraphrase for Youngstar leaders on 1st Corinthians 13
At a country festival you don't stand out in western dress. It's when you hit the streets in a country look that things get critical. I noticed how many fans carry their hats in a plastic bag all the way to the festival hall and don't put it on until they get to the festival hall.

Mentoring in its original form, as practiced by the Greeks, has nothing to do with the Christian faith. However, since the meaning of the word has changed (discipleship would be more appropriate), the word is used in its new sense (extended coaching) in this article.
The principle of mentoring is the principle of multiplication. Paul describes precisely this multiplication to his mentor Timothy and instructs him:
"Pass on the message you have heard from me, the truth of which has been confirmed to you by many witnesses, to trustworthy and reliable people who will also be able to teach others." (1 Tim. 2.4).
