Question
Heya! I don't really know where to start.. hmmm.. okay so, i finished my last year of sundayschool in 2008 and now, there is no activity for me, and practically any other youth in my church to attend. Currently I'm 17, stay in Rustenburg, South Africa, and have no problem what so ever to talk infront of people and talk about God.  So I came up with this idea to start a youth group for people, like myself, from about 16 years to 25 26.. I got premition to start it but I have no idea where to begin! What activities to do and so on.. Can you please help me?

Kind regards :)

Charlize-

What a WONDERFUL idea.  If you don't have your own youth group, start one.

You are truly fortunate if you have access to the internet.  There is a WEALTH of information about youth ministry.

Many games and ideas can be found at:

Another wonderful resource is Youth Ministry Exchange which has articles and discussions and ideas about youth ministry.  You can find YMX at http://ymexchange.com/  They have a forum you can join where you can find answers and talk to actual real live youth ministers.

Also try http://www.youthministryideas.net/

Hope this helps.  I think you'll find a ton of help at these sites.  If you have more questions, I would suggest that you join the forum at youth ministry exchange and ask there, or you can come back to me.

blessings,
