Youth Ministry as Mission EPUB

Equipping youth ministers with the tools of a crosscultural missionary

The parallels between ministry within youth culture and global missions have long been touted by youth ministry experts, yet few resources exist to help youth workers benefit apply the insights of missiologists. In Youth Ministry as Mission, Brian Hull and Patrick Mays fill this gap with an introduction to missiology, missions practice, and missionary witness tailored especially for a youth ministry context.

Youth ministers will discover missiological language that not only describes realities they face regularly, but also provides practical cross-cultural activities that translate well to youth ministries. Hull and Mays address issues such as these:

* Avoiding ethical relativism while understanding historical and methodological changes in missions

* Translating stories and practicing storytelling as preparation for witnessing

* Training for witness in a multi-religious context

Youth Ministry as Mission will be a valuable guide for college and seminary students but will also be a breath of fresh air to those already working as youth directors and youth ministers.
