Other Ongoing Stuff
Devo’s for Meetings
Keep it short!
60 secs is all that is needed – one key point/takeaway
Keep it real!
Bring something from your personal devotional time – we’re all leaders who are
engaging with personal devotions right
Keep it encouraging!
How are your words encouraging the team and setting up the night?
Suggested outline:
1 – Read the verse/quote and mention where you found it
2 – What was God saying to you through this? (1 point only)
3 – How can we apply this to our ministry?

Youth Team WINS!
FAITH CONVOS – Not every conversation needs to be about faith, but we are missing the point if none of our conversations are.
FOLLOW UP – Follow up shows that we care about each and every person
FAMILY – Meet/talk to parents – they entrust their youth to us, so connecting them to us and to the church is a major win!
FRIDAY + – Whether we use any of ‘The other 166 hours of the week’ to connect with our youth shows them we actually care.

Who We Are as a Youth Team
We are Jesus first – how are you putting Jesus first?
– In our preparation – turning up in a good place spiritually as much as we can
– In our example to our youth – we don’t shy away from this
– In how we operate both on Friday nights and with our youth at other times – sensitive, listening – and obedient
We are Team Gateway – are you on the team?
– In our preparation – we bring our best, we do what we say we will do
– In our example to our youth – we bring them on the journey of serving – and we’re Team Gateway outside of Youth
– In how we operate on Friday nights – eagerly fill the needs of the night, fill gaps organically
We value people – did you value that person?
– In our preparation – we keep track of the youth calendar and we’re on time
– In our example to our youth – we teach them to value others both actively, in the example we set, and by bring them with us – We turn up!
– In how we operate on Friday nights – we notice who and what is around us and we acknowledge and fill needs
