The real heart of youth ministry

There innumerable definitions of youth ministry and its value. Many of them are right. Sometimes it is a matter of the moment. But one definition is: that which we do while waiting for a crisis to deal with.

A youth in crisis is our real calling. We need to be there for them, we need to be trained and knowledgeable and ready to act. Often the crisis is a broken arm, but sometimes it is suicide, or crises of faith. It doesn't matter, it is our job to take care of them.

It doesn't matter if they were being stupid
It doesn't matter if they were being immoral
It doesn't matter if the crisis is bigger in their sight than ours
It doesn't matter if we have other things to attend to
