Youth Ministry Advice Website
Tim over at Life in Student Ministry is currently working on a new youth ministry venture. An outgrowth of his Youth Ministry Mentoring Program, this new venture will provide online training and advice to rookie youth workers. Since Tim is devoted to providing free online content, he is looking for some help to cover the expenses of the ministry. Here is a quote from Tim’s announcement of the venture:
One of the largest undertakings is the Youth Ministry Mentorship Program, where new youth workers have one-on-one mentoring with a youth ministry veteran for 10 weeks straight, plus they get a slew of books and resources, all for FREE! The demand for the mentorship has been overwhelming. Hundreds of new youth workers apply for each round from all over the world, seeking one-on-one advice, training and input into their ministry to teenagers. Unfortunately, only 13 of them can be accepted into the program for each 10-week round.
I have an idea of how to extend this mentoring, advice, and help to youth workers all over the world online for free, but it will take some initial start-up funds to purchase the scripts, pay designers, and set it all up.
Tim has set up a ChipIn page where you can contribute to his ministry. I am glad that Tim is expanding his ministry to new youth workers, and excited to see his venture go online in mid-January.

Dude, thank you SOOOO much for posting this! I can’t wait to get this new ministry up and running. I believe so strongly that it will be such a blessing to youth workers that I’m committed to making it happen no matter what the financial demands. The sooner I reach $700 the sooner I can start the project and let people like you take over in mentoring your peers while they mentor you. (No, it’s not a forum. lol)
