Creative Bible Study Methods for Youth Leaders
We lead church youth ministries. Teens are coming to church with this expectation. Visitors are coming to church with this expectation. If all we are offering is a Christianized Boys and Girls Club we aren’t doing what our identity is. To help you do a better job of teaching the Bible we are offering this free download written by Grahame Knox (Download Here). He is partenering with us to provide this download. We invite you to visit Grahame’s site where you’ll find loads of varied ideas such as games and discussion starters.

WF Green Redemption Stories
In the Pair of Cleats “Creation Care is Youth Ministry, ” we encourage you to include Creation Care redemption stories on your website as a way to support Creation Care, which is of high concern for this generation of teens. The following two stories are so innovative and powerful that we encourage you to post them (with proper referencing):
Story #1: Rock festivals have long been a gathering for excessive amounts of garbage. The Roskilde Festival of Denmark has changed their format to “Less Trash ‑ More Music.” Attendees were encouraged to cut back on the amount of trash they generated. Attendees were also given their own bags to fill with trash and were given a reward of beer or chocolate milk for every bad. There was also a competition for who could collect the most garbage. The winner collected 1,048 bags of garbage and won backstage passes to Neil Young’s performance.
At the 2007 festival, trash clean up took more than 500 people and several weeks to clean up the trash at a price tag of over a million Euros. (Trendcentral, August 6, 2008)
Story#2: Mark the Litter Guy is an unemployed homeless man in Toronto who was uninterested in panhandling. Instead he gets trash bags and has dedicated himself to cleaning the city’s streets day in and day out. Torontians respect him for choosing a non‑intrusive way to make money (he does not ask for money but accepts donations) and celebrate him for beautifying their streets. He sometimes receives so much more than panhandlers in the area that he will give them some change. (Trendcentral, August 6, 2008)
