A Youth Director doesn't want to be a failure at what he does any more than
a Pastor or Missionary. As the statistics above illustrate, success in the ministry
is often equated to numbers. "How many did you have saved?", "What was your
attendance?", and "What are your offerings like?" are questions that occur at
many preachers' fellowship meetings. Sometimes we as preachers tend to let the
"Numbers Game" obscure our real duty of ministering to our congregation's spiritual
needs. Granted, all of the statistics
mention above of this book did happen. But they were incidental. They did indeed
just happen while we were busy ministering to the young people in our Sr. High
Class. As a Youth Director you
can shoot for big numbers and exalt yourself while using your kids to further
your own goals. Or you can make your young people your life and put all of your
energies into serving them. The growth and numerical "success" that we experienced
occurred while my wife and I busied ourselves with the latter. There is absolutely no
promise of numerical increase inferred with this book. That's why it is entitled
How To Minister To Youth. You worry about ministering to your young people,
let God give the increase. Dr. Samuel Gipp OTHER BOOKS BY DR. GIPP The Answer Book, A Practical
