WHAT DO YOU THINK THE YOUTH IS MISSING?

[KHADINE BECKFORD]

I BELIEVE THAT TODAY'S YOUTH ALONG WITH NEEDING DIRECTION AND ATTENTIONS, THEY LACK MOTIVATION. IT IS EVIDENT IN THE MEDIA AND WE NEED TO OFFER MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THEM TO FEEL LIKE THEY BELONG, ORGANIZATIONS AND CHURCHES TODAY ARE COMING TOGETHER IN THESE DAYS FOR THIS PURPOSE, WITH VERY LITTLE BEING DONE AND GOVERNMENT SUPPORT IS NOWHERE IN VIEW,
HOW DO YOU THINK THAT THE CHURCH NEEDS TO STAND UP AND TAKE BACK ITS COMMUNITY? AFTER ALL GOD DID GIVE US LAND TO POSSES AND IT IS EVIDENT THAT THE ENEMY HAS HELD GROUND LONG ENOUGH, TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK OF THIS TOPIC AND WHAT DO YOU THINK WE SHOULD PLAY AS FAR AS LEADERSHIP GOES AND STRUCTURING?

[Pastor Carl Ashton]

3.Be a living testimony of the word. If they see God through you then they will want to emulate what they see. just like all of us that wished to be MJ.(Michael jackson) we bought the glove, the jackets, the socks and some of us even had the hair glory to God!LOL But we thought he was so great that we wanted to be like him. Well the same rule applies here. If they see the power of God working through us, then they will want to have that for themselves and will begin to act on that. To not be like us, but to be like the God in us.

Prophet Ashton

[Bryan E.J. Robinson]

Youth in the world and in the Body of Christ are suffering because some in "The Church" have refused to accept them for who they are and embrace them. Many young people come to the church looking and seeking God but are turned away by the "Religious Elite" who are unable to relate to the youth of today. In addition to preach to youth you must embrace their medium, i.e Computers, Powerpoints, Music, Twitter/ Facebook etc. The methods are changing but the message is the same. We as a Body must get on board and meet the youth where they are, because when we do this and teach them then the inside will change thus creating an outward change.

I totally agree with what everyone is saying. Now that we have made the comments, how are we going to do this on a local and global level. If you have a strong Youth Ministry, because you practice what you just made a comment on, how are you going to reach the masses outside your "walls." At the church I'm a member of the main issue with youth is Commitment and Consistency. This is a result of the things you guys talked about and becuase they don't see the "2 C's" in any other older saint. What do you suggest? Before we change the hurts and minds of the youth, we must first change ours.

[Bryan E.J. Robinson]

In my ministry I have found it neccesary and effective to build a relationship with the parents of the youth. Once you build this relationship the parents are more apt to help you and get their young people out to participate. In addition I have asked the parents what they are facing at home in terms of question, behavior, etc of the young people and geered my lessons and activities to address those home issues. This is effective because the church the home are emphasizing the same thing.
