Wow. These are some great examples of congregations stepping out to do youth ministry in a missional way. New mission can rejuvenate churches – UMC.org.

That isn’t happening for them… and it may never happen. What is happening, though, is that the Gospel is becoming very real for a number of teens. And they’re finding “church” in the people who they’re connecting with. I’m stirred by this…
