Being fully present in student ministry

How different would student ministry look in the church if student ministry pastors and their leaders were fully present with students during their gatherings? So many student ministry leaders are always talking about who didn't show up and missing who did.

Being fully present means we are not walking around wondering why so and so didn't show up, bummed that our attendance is low, etc... Rather being fully present has to start with thinking about who did show up, and praying that God would open a door for this to be the gathering where they respond to His love. Being fully present means that the students who do you show up get our full attention.
