En jy gebruik Mark DeVries om persoonlik VIER SESSIES daaroor aan te bied na ‘n intensiewe koukus van twee weke met Andy Root en Deon Kitching

Antwoord: EMMAUS SENTRUM SE NUWE KORT KURSUS: "VOLHOUBARE JEUGBEDIENING" WAT 1 SEPTEMBER 2012 AFSKOP! DIT SAL JOU LAAT BOKSPRING EN NUWE LEWE IN JOU VOORBEREIDING VIR 2013, BLAAS Die oorhoofse doel van die kursus is om jeugbediening in gemeentes van "stuck” na “ sustainable" om te swaai.

Maak nie saak of julle jeugbediening uit 5 of 500 jongmense bestaan nie, volgens die bekende skrywer, kenner en konsultant, Mark DeVries is daar "key systems and structures of

sustainability, poking and prodding you along the way to consider how youth ministry might become an investment the whole church makes (not just the youth staff).

Jeugbediening is 'n gemeentelike belegging!

Gemeentes is op soek na kitsoplossings en kits-redders!

Volgens DeVries word die bediening in die meeste gevalle soos 'n dobbelspel aangepak: "Too many churches approach youth ministry like gambling—hoping that the right youth minister, the right curriculum, the right program, or the right (fill-in-the-blank) will fix everything…all in time for the back-toschool kickoff!"

Het jy/julle al aan julle jeugbediening gedink as 'n langtermyn-belegging?

"DeVries urges senior pastors, youth ministry search committees, and youth workers to move from a gambling model to a model of long-term investment."

Sleutelgedagte: Die mees belangrike kopskuif wat jeugleiers en jeugpredikante moet maak is: “... But wealth—and sustainable youth ministry—come not from gambling but predictably from a strategic, sacrificial and annoyingly inconvenient investment of time and resources."

3. Our church is different--that's why our ministry is not thriving (the trap of "terminal uniqueness”).

4. Youth ministry is “not about numbers.”

5. Church politics is a problem.

Key quote: “Effective youth ministry happens when a very consistent set of factors is put in place, and it flounders when those are absent” (DeVries 19).

Module 2 Building Right. The Structures of Sustainability

PUNT 5 Jaarprogram. Kort opsommings kom uit die studiemateriaal.

Module 1 A Roll of the Dice. Exposing Today’s Most Popular Youth Ministry Model

Before beginning to build a sustainable youth ministry, we must first grasp the practices and mindsets that keep youth ministries stuck.

Youth Ministry Architects, through its work over the years with over 250 churches (as of this writing), has discovered patterns among stuck youth ministries, commonly expressed by these five assumptions: 1. All we need is a good idea.

2. Whatever you do, don't fail.

In youth ministry there is content thinking and systems thinking.

Content thinking has to do with specific issues, topics, or ideas.

Systems thinking has to do with the deeper issues that hide beneath content issues. An example of a content issue is declining youth attendance in youth group activities.

An example of a systems issue undergirding this could be a lack of support structures in place that extend ownership of the ministry to youth, who don’t come because they don’t experience ownership of the program.

A sustainable youth ministry pays attention to two key aspects of systems thinking: (1) Architecture—the structures that lead to sustainability and (2) Atmosphere—the culture and climate that lead to sustainability.

Key quote: “What far too many churches and youth workers are missing is the ability to give their first attention to ensuring that the right systems, priorities, and infrastructure are in place before beginning the dance” (DeVries, p.53).

Module 3 Align the Heart. The Emotionally Healthy Youth Worker

3. A humility and openness to learning new things 4. self-awareness (including an awareness of blind spots and areas of non-giftedness) 5. A tamed tongue 6. A faith in God as the real force for transformation in ministry Healthy youth workers manage conflict well, and know how to recover after failure.

They practice saying “no” and so prevent burnout.

Key quote: “Emotional health does not come automatically. What does come automatically is the pursuit of our own compulsions” (DeVries, p.115).

Sustainable youth ministry can only be built by those whose own emotional and spiritual health is sustainable.

There is a great cost that comes with ignoring our own hearts and spiritual health in ministry. And while spiritual health is an end in itself, it is also one of the greatest assets the builder of a sustainable youth ministry has.

As the health of the youth worker goes, so goes the health of the youth ministry. Healthy youth ministers recognize that God can work even through pain and in the midst of difficulty. They reject a victim mentality and take responsibility (with God’s help) for their own spiritual well being. They see problems not just as external threats, but as part of a larger system in which they often play a role, too.

Several factors contribute to an emotionally healthy youth worker: 1. A life outside of the youth program 2. A healthy schedule with Sabbath and margins

Session 4 Dancing with Alligators. Navigating the Turbulent Waters of Church Politics.

Church politics is less about what we normally think of as "politics" and more about relationships and respect.

Disgruntled workers who leave their jobs often cite “politics” as the reason, but when pressed, the majority of the time “politics” boils down essentially to “relationships.”

As part of a larger church system, youth ministry is dependent on processes and people outside of the youth program. Youth ministers must learn to identify and work with “key stakeholders” in the church.

DeVries mentions several political bungles (pp.177-181) he has made, hoping to help youth workers avoid the same mistakes. These include: isolationism, following one’s own passion first, and the porcupine party (everything from knocking the previous youth leader to inflammatory emails to triangulation).

Youth workers should become students of the way things work at their churches. How are decisions actually made? How do things get done? Without making sweeping judgments on church processes, youth workers should understand them and be able to work healthily within them.

Not the least of these important processes is understanding who all the key stakeholders are (hint: not just the youth staff and volunteer team), and maximizing relationships with them in building a sustainable youth program.

Key quote: “…Far from being slimy and deceitful, church politics is— surprisingly—about relationships and respect” (DeVries, p.176). _____________________________________ PUNT 6 Waar gaan ek al die boeke en bronne in die hande kry?
