Basic Student Ministry Tip 6



NEVER STOP LEARNING!

-  Get into God's Word everyday.
-  Read as many books as you can.
-  Listen to leadership CD's and online messages.
-  Get a mentor.
-  Search online for blogs or sites that will challenge you.
-  Visit other ministries and take notes.
-  Visit other ministries to refresh (leave the note book at home).
-  Look for local and national conferences to attend.
-  Get some good magazine subscriptions (Group and Youth Worker top my list).
-  Connect with peers in your community.

Don't just limit yourself to Christian resources; some very helpful resources to me over the years have been secular leadership books and conferences.

Thank you for the link to that youth site that features training materials for youth workers. I volunteer at my church and am excited about this resource.
Again, thank you and God bless.
