Emerging Issues in Asian American Youth Ministry to Gen Z and Gen Alpha
Ministering to Gen Z and Gen Alpha presents its unique cultural context and challenges for youth leaders. Throw all of that in with the unique aspects of ministering to Asian American teenagers, and it poses a distinct set of questions and challenges for ministry for those serving Asian American teenagers. The webinar will begin to unwrap and dig into these issues and consider how we might define and unwrap how to tackle them.

Community Gatherings
If you’re looking to make new friends in youth ministry, we would encourage you to start a local community gathering. It’s a great way to foster fellowship, support, and growth among youth leaders. We believe in the power of a healthy Christian community, where we can come together to lift each other up in prayer, share both our successes and challenges, and find strength in knowing that we’re not alone in ministry. We’re here to equip you with all you need to learn, train, grow, and gather in community. We provide six new webinars a year, a toolkit you can download to get started, and access to all our past videos, and you can take it from there!

Why gather with other youth ministry leaders?
Our heart is to advance gospel-centered youth ministry, and we know it can be lonely to do it alone. So many of the youth ministry staff we talk to are alone in their efforts within their own church, so it’s been invaluable to them to connect with other youth ministers – particularly when they’re in the same community! We want to provide as many free resources as possible to help you make that happen so that all you need to do is spread the word, and we’ll do the legwork for you.
-
What do these gatherings look like?
You can structure these gatherings in a variety of ways. But, our consistent hope for each gathering is that they are grace-filled and gospel-centered. Celebrate relief that while we are to plant and water, only God can give growth and change. Meetings exult the Savior and humble ministers, for ministry does not depend on us! (1 Cor. 3:6-7, John 3:30, Mark 10:44-45).
We encourage the community leaders to consider the following components when planning:
Comfort: Promote an atmosphere where people leave feeling comforted that they are loved and accepted by God through Christ in spite of their failures.
Training & Discussion: We encourage you to watch at least one or more training videos when you gather for a group. And, then spend some time discussing with your team how the training applies to your congregation and context. You can learn so much from others in your community.
Prayer: This is a crucial and important element of your ministry. And, it is so powerful to be surrounded by a group of co-labors who can pray with and for you.
Food: While optional, sharing a meal (breakfast or lunch) or even coffee helps foster all of the above.
