Yesterday we had our student ministry network meeting with the student ministry pastors in our area. Assemblies of God, Baptist General Conference, Presbyterian, Mennonite, Evangelical Free Church, Young Life, and Noah's Ark made up our affiliations. We had a great time discussing Kenda Creasy's Dean, "Somebody Save Me."
We discussed this quote, "Adolescents look to the church for a story of somebody who will save
them, who will keep them from going under in the adolescent search for self—a story about whom they belong to, where they come from, and what they are doing on this planet."
Our conversation centered around this questions, "What story of salvation is your ministry telling to the students who walk through the door? What will our students say "saved" them as a result of being in our ministries? How does the way we spend our time impact the story we tell?" Awesome time!
