Narrow the Focus, Widen the Impact.

You only have so much time. With all the possibilities, directions and ideas that come to our attention in a variety of ways, let's step back and sharpen the plan for the coming calendar year.  Use this downtime to focus on key areas that will make the most impact and bring about fruit.   
If you need a place to focus in your youth ministry, here are three ideas:  1) helpful holy teaching 2) long term loving adults 3) meaningful ministry opportunities.  [full article]
