Real Outreach
 
Each month a guest writer will discuss outreach to youth...what it looks like, what it could look like, ideas to try, things that have worked, things that haven't worked, and anything outreach related. If you have questions about outreach in your church, feel free to leave a comment in the posts below!
 
Do you have an outreach story you'd like to share? Send an email to youth.ministry@lcms.org and ask how you can write for thESource!

A Little Church
by Jeffrey Meinz, DCE

posted 10/27/09
Martha, a well-meaning mother, called the church looking for the "person in charge of youth ministry."
"How can I help you today, Martha?"
"I have a daughter named Emma. She is a sophomore in high school. She's been hanging around with the wrong kind of people lately."
I considered interrupting Martha and asking her, "Do you mean the same kind of 'wrong people' that Jesus hung out with after He asked a chief tax collector to be His disciple?" I carefully packed that wise-crack away for a later time. Then Martha said what we people who work with youth on a regular basis hear regularly.
"My daughter needs a little church."
