(Friday 8:30am)
Have you ever felt a burden for your most local mission field? Have you thought about the different ways to reach out to young people that doesn’t involve getting them through Church doors? Have you ever tried to figure out how you can complement the excellent work that may already be happening in your local school?
In this session we will be looking at some ways that you can do exactly that – add value to ministry that is already happening in your school or pioneer a ministry yourself. Issues such as how best to reach junior high students, how to reach seniors, how to work with the school and its administration in running programs that they are happy with. If you have questions about impacting your local school for Jesus, then this session will give you a starting point and some basic tools to get going.
