Success in youth ministry is not simply found in the numbers that attend or how creative something was, but it is found in the long term strength of each student's faith as they mature and grow. An important factor that plays an key role in the spiritual development of a student's life is family. Healthy families create healthy environments for long term spiritual maturity of a student.
What about students who come from broken homes or difficult circumstances? It is important to expose students to healthy families, if they have not grown up in a healthy environment themselves. Thankfully, God's grace is sufficient beyond our circumstances as many who have come from difficult backgrounds have not only become spiritually healthy, but impactful followers of Christ!
Below is a Barna Study Group information regarding teenagers and strong families. Share your thoughts!
