Momentum YOUTH CONFERENCE 2022
In all of our partnerships, we strive for a “hand and heart” impact.
Hand: We work with our hands and accomplish a task that serves people and shows them that we care.
Heart: We talk with whoever we can as we serve or before and after with the intention to share the Gospel and plant seeds. Ask people how we can pray for them and share your story.
We can never totally have full control over everything. Sometimes something doesn’t go the way we expected so you have to be intentional about leading your group with flexibility. We don’t expect any plans to not go as they should, but if something unexpected does happen, look for ways your students can still serve so they can still have a good experience. Your students will follow your lead!
Here’s more to keep in mind as you are out serving:
Always smile, look approachable, and be friendly
Show people that you are friendly and care about others with a smile and approachable demeanor.
Respect the other person
Never act like you are better than they are.
Reflect Jesus in the way you love and care
You are representing HIM.
Listen when people are talking
Be genuinely interested.
Never argue with people
Although people may not believe the same as you, arguing your point won’t bring them closer to Jesus.
Be aware of the next steps in follow-up
Do they have a Bible? Do they know of a good church to attend? Do they understand that you care?
Be careful
Do not go into places where you should not go and watch for any signs that say you should not be there. We are there to be pleasant so be respectful.
For your safety, NEVER go into a structure (garage, house, classroom, etc.) without other people from your group (especially a leader) with you.
