"Challenge the Minds and Hearts of Young People" By N. Durgana (New York)
I've been a Sunday School Teacher since 1998 and have assisted during many Christian youth games and activities. It is always a challenge to discover ideas that are fun, teach the gospel message and engage the imaginations of our young people... Not the Same Old, Done-it-Before Youth Meetings" does this. It has lots of fun activities but, much more importantly, it addresses the need to challenge the minds and hearts of our young people.

"Frank Tangredi, Youth Leader from New York, U.S.A. shares ..."
Not the Same Old, Done-it-before Youth Meetings is a practical, eminently usable handbook by someone who has devoted himself heart and soul to working with youth. The practicality of the book is its most important feature. The ideas here work. I know that because I’ve seen them work. Every one has been ‘teen-tested.’...

"Cathy Murray, Sunday School Teacher shares ..."
I have purchased the book Not the Same Old, Done-it-before Youth Meetings... what an invaluable Christian youth resource this book has become to me… The best part of it is the concrete examples and the step-by-step lesson plans. Tim did all the work and I just have to follow the lessons he prepared.
I think this would be a great addition to any Sunday school as well as Christian Youth program.

Did you know? If the population of China walked past you, 8 abreast, the line would never end because of the rate of reproduction. This is the future Christian mission challenge of world wide Christian youth leaders.
See what the Christian teens in Deer Park, N.Y. are doing through World Vision for one nine year old child in China.

On Nov. 22, 2008 my wife and I left a restaurant with friends. Suddenly I felt a pain on the side of my head. Then my wife called out, “The windshield has been shattered”. To make a long story short we learned that a twelve year old boy was using us as target practice with a relatively powerful BB gun. Even though he knew he had hit his targets, he kept firing for another ten minutes as we awaited the police.
My wife and I returned to the restaurant to learn that word had spread about the event. The prevalent response was “take the kid into the street and shoot BB’s at him”. Though I still can feel the sting from this injury as I write these words, I cannot agree. Jesus tells us, “you have heard it has been said ‘an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth’ but I tell you: do not take revenge on some one who has wronged you”. So if revenge, the normal human response, is not the answer, what is?
The answer is: we youth leaders need to create activities that stimulate the minds and hearts of our young people so that they see there are alternatives to destructive behaviors; alternatives that give meaning to life. In addition, youth need us to create opportunities for them to put their faith into action.
The activities page on this Christian youth website has many youth games and icebreakers to accomplish this. There are suggestions from around the world. Will you help in this effort? Share with us by writing to timferguson@christianyouthgroup.org the best activity you use to challenge youth to put their faith into action. We can make a difference in their lives but we need each other’s help. Thank you and I look forward to your comments. Tim

Thanks so much.? The site looks great!? The story above it was so relevant - and I agree, the upstanding members of this younger generation need to set an example.? I work with a lot of teenagers and find myself worrying often about this generation of "no consequences."? If their faith can serve as an anchor, that would be amazing.
Thanks again.. and Happy Thanksgiving!
Best,
