- Start conversation regarding Need #4
- Wrap-up
NEED #4 - Need to be empowered by Faith that makes a difference
- Disciple young people. Practices of discipleship:
- They are grounded in concrete actions of turning toward and following Jesus rather than ideas or theories about Him;
- They offer guidance and direction where there was uncertainty and hesitation; and most of all.
- They offer an experience of God rather than facts about God;
- Pray together. Not teach how to pray, actually do it.
- Delegation. Older generation need to offer opportunities to the new generation.
- Ask these questions:
- What tasks can we put in the hands of our younger generation.
- What concrete guidance can we give them them so they can fulfill those tasks or responsibilities?
- What support and encouragement can we give them along the way?
