WHO IS A TEEN MINISTER, COACH OR MENTOR?

WHO IS A TEEN MINISTER, COACH, OR MENTOR?

2Tim 2:2, 4:2. Phil 4:6 (humility)

A Teen minister, coach or mentor is an adult who is more experience, more mature and is willing to help a teenager or teenagers to be like him/her or better than him/her through Christ. An adult who is willing to teach, guide, guard and lead a teenage is a teen coach. I say willing because it’s not every adult that is ready to go through the process of leading these young ones.

So Teen ministry is not about the adult but it’s about the Teenager. When we have the mind set, we act differently when we face challenges in Teen Ministry.

Mentoring somebody is disciplining the person, being there for the person either formally or informally.

Mentoring teenagers is demanding, we should know that we are not dealing with adults or children. They are special group of persons, we need to put in our resources in mentoring teenagers.

If, we are ready to “save the next generation”, we should check if we are ‘save’ ourselves. ‘Save’ here I mean if we have accepted the teachings others taught us and we are ready to pass it to the next generation like Paul told Timothy in 2 Tim 2:2.

We should not stay high there and say we are mentoring teenagers. Until we come to their level, we will not know and hear what challenges they are going through.

When a teenager sees and feels your love and concern on issues that bothers him or her, they will definitely believe in you. At that point, rules and instructions easily obeyed and followed.

Teen mentors should get to the point where your teenagers can cry and tell you that very silly act.

I MET A BARRISTER -GreatGlorious

During my second year in school, the alumni arm of the fellowship body I attended was to hold a 3-day conference. As the welfare coordinator in fellowship then, I was involved in the program planning process. This helped created a cordial relationship between me and most of the alumni. The D-day came; due to the numerous planning activities, I became so exhausted and decided to rest a little before attending the program. I ended up getting to the venue when the program was already closing. I made way to some of the alumni I knew and greeted them. Among them was a fair young man, he looked like a white man whom I have never seen before. He seemed to be attending the conference for the first time. I pondered on who he was but never really cared and went about my business. The second day came which coincided with an activity I had in school. Owing to my responsibility, I had to forfeit it for the conference. I was not really happy with the decision I made, so I sat at the back of...

WHAT'S YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO LIFE❓

WHAT'S YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO LIFE❓ Everyone and everything on earth has something to contribute to life however big or however small. The trees, the sun, the moon, the sand, insects, cars, ideas and everything existing whether animate or inanimate has a lot to fulfill. If animals and even inanimate object contributes to living and has things to offer the world; thoughts like why humans created with better features and qualities feel they have nothing to offer this world can't help but peruse my mind. Reminiscing on these thoughts, I think it's because people has lost sight of the value of the little things. As the saying goes, "little drops of water makes a might ocean", that little smile can start a life changing relationship. That kind act of love can save a generation. That transport fare paid for that stranger can make a billionaire. That silent prayer said can heal a life. Talk more of the teachings we've been giving out to thousands of pe...

BUSINESS NEEDS YOU TO GROW - Daniel Israel

When a brother/friend starts a new business, the first thought that comes to mind is " At least I fit owe, pay later". "Them suppose dash me something". "Pepper don rest for their side", (whereas pepper just left their side with hopes that it comes back). According to survey, 90% of businesses die in the first 5 years. One of the chief causes of this statistics is the above mentioned mindset (among others). A new business needs support and care, rather than borrow, give. Even if you don't deal out cash to them, become a regular purchaser.(because at the end you must still buy, either from them or someone else). If you're not helping them build, at least don't break them. Help friends get out of the 5 years challenge and watch them deal you gifts with time. Business is sweet, people are difficult!!
