If you’re looking for more leaders to join your Young Life
team this fall, here are ten ways to find them.
- Ask your high school friends if they have any older siblings or friends or teachers or coaches they think would make good YL leaders.
- Ask the parents of your high school friends if they know any
college grads moving back to the area who might make good YL leaders. - Ask local youth pastors/pastors if there is anyone in their
church with a heart for outreach and teenagers. - Put up flyers at local universities, community colleges, and
Paneras. - Use social media to spread the word and let others know your
needs. - Partner with campus ministries at the local college to see
if there are folks in Cru, IV, FCA, RUF, CO, etc.. who might be interested in
outreach high school ministry. - Ask empty-nester parents to pray about leading.
- Guest preach or make announcements at local churches, casting
the vision and sharing the need. - Talk to Christians who don’t really like Young Life and help
them understand the heart of the mission. - Pray expectantly, asking God to provide in ways that
may surprise you.
Acts 2:42-47: “They committed themselves to the teaching of the apostles,
the life together, the common meal, and the prayers. Everyone around was in
awe—all those wonders and signs done through the apostles! And all the
believers lived in a wonderful harmony, holding everything in common. They sold
whatever they owned and pooled their resources so that each person’s need was
met. They followed a daily discipline of worship in the Temple followed by
meals at home, every meal a celebration, exuberant and joyful, as they praised
God. People in general liked what they saw. Every day their number grew as God
added those who were saved.“
