Youth Unity in SCHOOLS

Youth outreach has hardly started until they are finding their voice amongst their peers int heir schools. To achieve that, the UNITY OF YOUTH IN THEIR SCHOOLS is necessary – to give them courage and strength.

Our recent united survey of NZ youth ministry revealed that… (data pending).

If youth will (1) unite in their schools to (2) pray and consider (3) what they could do, conversations about faith will be catalysed. Even if not concluded, the new interest generated will then spill over into visits to youth groups and church youth events. There is a vital process here to understand. The uniting of youth in schools for prayer and mission is a key to the success of that mission!

Resources

Bringing vision and encouragement to school groups, Catalyst have chosen the name ‘Jesus Clubs’, and from 2025 onwards travelled to share vision and tips that could help youth start their own groups.

Check out their resourcing HERE, and their AMAZING ‘Jesus Clubs’ manual below:

Learn from the best. Preserved via Godtalk.nz, the 101 Ideas Mag was the result of a significant European school-groups movement known as ‘New Generation’ which Dave M was involved in duplicating into another nation. The European movement has lost its momentum currently – but the thinking and ideas synch exactly with the DNA NZ’s national youth leaders perceive to be working here. This Mag records what ideas initiated in their schools, WITH RESULTS. Check it out via the Godtalk webpage here:

Pray For
Your School
Day

Proposed amongst the national youth leaders, this day is likely to be initiated in NZ in 2027. Details will be found here when it does. Planned for late February, its purpose will be to help Christian youth in each school UNITE, that they might PRAY and consider what they could DO in the year ahead. Contact any national youth leader for more information – or just plan your own day, to unite the Christian youth of your school!
