Every day, godly men and women enter the turbulent world of youth ministry seeking to make a difference. They love their students, parents, and local church. So, why is the average youth leader tenure a mere eighteen months? One major cause is that many youth leaders too often incur the ministry-thwarting label of being "simply a big kid." In Student Ministry Field Guide: Debunking the "Big Kid" Label, fifteen-year student ministry "vet" Weston Blaha, reveals the many pitfalls that often derail a student ministry, and more importantly, how to avoid them. This book is an accessible, concise guide written to help navigate such issues as: • Contending with your Predecessor • Rallying Volunteers • Establishing Organization • Determining Ministry Vision and Strategy And much more! In this short guide, both "rookie" and experienced student ministry leaders will learn how to play like a kid, act like an adult, and know when each is required!
