Be : Engaging Youth in Evangelism

"How do you guide youth to be confident in evangelism?" What should I be thinking about to make sure my youth are growing in their faith?" "Sometimes I don?t feel like I know what I?m doing as a leader. How am I going to help my youth develop their own leadership skills?" Ministry leaders frequently hear questions like these from youth leaders all around the world. They are youth leaders in small churches and large churches. They are formally trained youth pastors and lay volunteer youth workers. Maybe you?ve asked questions like these as well. This three-book series is our way of reaching out to local youth leaders to encourage and equip you in the deeply meaningful work you are doing. The challenge is that youth ministry is diverse, with ever-changing cultural nuances to navigate. Thus, we have chosen to focus each of these books on one of our core strategies in NYI ? evangelism (BE), discipleship (DO), and leadership development (GO). These core strategies have served youth ministry in the Church of the Nazarene well since its earliest days. We have also invited in a diverse team of writers to help us share a balanced perspective with you. We trust you will enjoy this blend of voices and that the mix of perspectives will provide connection to your ministry setting no matter what your context.
