Youth Pastors Disciple Students!

Well, if you read the title, you are probably thinking duh...
But the reality is, that we had 58 students accept Christ on campus at 3 schools last year (Cherokee Trail, Smoky Hill, and Grandview High Schools) in the last three months of school!!! 
Praise God right!
Well the discipleship depends on a few things
1. student relationship
2. connecting the new Christ follower to the church through the relationship
3. the church the new Christ follower attends has a discipleship program. 


We have been working on a few things over the summer together as one body. First, we have been bringing our discipleship programs at each of our churches up to par. Not just saying to a student "come back next week", but an actual program for new believers to help them become true disciples, not just converts. 


The other thing myself and 7 other youth pastors in the area have been working on, is the fact that because the students are going out into the hallways in their schools, and inviting students in to hear the gospel, that are not necessarily their friends. When the unbelieving student does accept Christ into their hearts, the person that invited them into the club on campus, is not necessarily their friend. So it is tough for the student to get plugged into a church and become a disciple. These students are mostly non-churched kids who have never stepped foot into a church or gone to youth group, but now have the Spirit of God living on the inside of them, and are wanting to know whats next. 


So I believe God has given me a cool, and relevant solution to this big problem of making disciples not just converts. I am working on a video mini series that would be on our website, where a new believer could go to and watch 5 short videos on "What's next" for a student that has accepted Christ into their heart. The theme of the videos is what just happened, what does it mean, and why they need community. Community being the main theme running through out each video, and at the end of the videos, we will have all 7 of our churches youth group meeting times and days that we meet. The point would be to get them to visit youth groups and have the youth pastors ready to plug them into their discipleship program as soon as possible. 


We have already started to shoot the first video and soon we will have the videos up and ready for the new believers, so they can know God and let God guide their life from now on! 


Please pray for the production of the video and for more financial support during these tough times. 


Thank you for all you do for this ministry! 
God is using your money and prayers to fund and drive this ministry forward to reach a lost and hopeless generation with the love and hope of Christ.
