You have one year to do this. You have a limited budget. Where would you start? How would you grow this group numerically? How would you help it grow spiritually?

Reading Scott Aughtmon's new Ebook, Lasting Youth Ministry is akin to sitting 'round a table with a band of well-weathered youth ministry veterans as they share their various views on assembling a student ministry with real eternal impact. You'll find great insights through the steams of convergence and divergence in their thinking and praxis. The combined years of youth ministry experience of the ministers Scott pulled together is in the hundreds of years. These folks have more to share than just a really good crowd-breaker involving balloons, chocolate sauce and a live gecko!Click here to visit The Official Lasting Youth Ministry website
