The ingredients to helping your ministry stick
Glue (Noun) a hard, impure, protein gelatin, obtained by boiling skins, hoofs, and other animal substances in water, that when melted or diluted is a strong adhesive.
More than 50 years ago Elmers figured out the perfect ingredients to making glue in the commercial industry. Nothing has radically changed over these 50 years with the exception of their marketing strategy. The ingredients worked and the glue did what it needed to do ….stick to things. These wierd yet odd substances for some reason make an extremely powerful combination that left by themselves would simply remain water and animal parts.
In today’s world, youth and college ministries need just that. They need substances that work together to form a powerful substance, that in the end we might refer to as mature followers of Christ. Never before has a civilization had the potential to use technology to enhance relationships through (twitter, facebook, webcams, blogs, texting, email etc….). These ingredients when mixed with raw genuine relationships have the potential to sustain viable relationships that are the foundational piece to disciplemaking.
As we start a new year in 2009 and as we begin to cultivate long lasting disciplemaking relationships, what ingredients will we use?
