We started discussion again on the "Youthministry+" channel this past week on understanding discipleship and evangelism in student ministry. Last week, a few of us shared some thoughts on what we are learning for part 1. This week, a few guys shared their thoughts in part 2!
YM+ Chat - "Balancing Evangelism and Discipleship" Part 1
We began the "Youth Ministry+" chats today on how to reach students and help students grow in their faith (aka evangelism and discipleship). We are a group of student pastors who want to discuss how to lead in student ministry and share what we are learning with other leaders. We have another group of leaders who will have a chat on Monday morning as well.

The Ultimate Goal
Philippians 3:7-14
"I once thought these things were valuable, but now I consider them worthless because of what Christ has done. 8 Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ 9 and become one with him. I no longer count on my own righteousness through obeying the law; rather, I become righteous through faith in Christ. For God’s way of making us right with himself depends on faith. 10 I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead. I want to suffer with him, sharing in his death, 11 so that one way or another I will experience the resurrection from the dead!
12 I don’t mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me. 13 No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us."
