The Evangelistic Necessity of Youth Ministry with Clark Fobes

Ministering to teenagers today feels more daunting than ever. It can seem nearly impossible to reach young people who grew up in the first post-Christian generation in America, where culture preaches a gospel of the “Self.” Because of the reality of our society and religious statistics, youth need the gospel more than ever, and youth ministries need to be willing to step into the void of evangelism more than ever before. What models of evangelism have preceded our times, and which model(s) are best suited to reach this generation? More importantly, what role do youth ministries play in the future evangelistic strategy of the American Church? This workshop will seek to address these questions by presenting a model of evangelism that is relevant and realistic, and discussing the urgent and important role youth ministries play on mission in America.
