The Momentum 2007/2008 Tour is a unique conference for youth leaders, youth workers and all your students, coming soon to cities throughout the U.S. Mark Hall will be joined by youth communicators Roger Glidewell and Bobby McGraw for this intensive Saturday conference. Youth leaders will be equipped with biblical principals and practical, take-home tools for ministering to teens! Students will leave with a clear direction for becoming a healthier youth group!
Imagine being part of a youth group that is...
...radically on fire for God and His Word!
...engaged in true and honest worship!
...united for Christ on their school campuses!
...contagious with love for Christ and each other!
Now picture all that happening in your very own youth group! Momentum1 is an event for youth groups in your community that begins with a simple question: “If God chose youth in your community to make a huge difference, what kind of youth would He choose?” Using drama, games, music, worship, team building in small groups, and lively large group Bible studies, we guide youth to see how God can and will use them in a mighty way!
What a Momentum Does:
Momentum will help your youth group gain VISION for what God desires to accomplish through them…together! This event will be:
FOCUSED: The primary goal is to help every youth group member get a vision of God’s purpose for the whole group! So the students spend a lot of time together... separated only at night into homes. Momentum1 focuses your youth on the "E's" that are essential to a youth group that exalts Christ: equipping, evangelism, and encouraging. The entire New Testament follows this pattern:
* Equipping: The Gospels are about Jesus equipping His disciples to be on mission in this world. A youth group that is healthy has a strong relationship with Jesus Christ. He alone energizes the youth to serve Him. We strengthen our relationship to Christ through Scripture and prayer.
* Evangelism: The book of Acts is about the explosion of the church as it evangelized the known world. A healthy youth group that has been equipped through Scripture and prayer will always develop His compassion for the lost. Evangelism always follows proper equipping.
* Encouraging: The letters to the churches that follow the book of Acts encourage and edify the church. A youth group that is reaching out to lost youth will have victories to celebrate, but will also understand the great need to support each other when the going gets tough A youth group that is not evangelizing the lost on their campus will have little need for what the Bible describes as fellowship between believers.
FUN, but this is much more than a “fun weekend.” Think of it as a kind of "self-diagnostic tool for youth groups.” We help youth discover what God could do with a fully devoted youth group! With this goal in mind, every hour and each component of the weekend moves sequentially.
Momentum1 is not a lock-in or "all-nighter." Properly prepared, students will come with a sense of anticipation for what God is going to do while we are together! We will have fun, we will laugh, we will play. But everything we do will point students and adults to God's best for their lives and for their group.
