Looking into learning and teaching styles last night at the youth ministry course, and how our own learning style will influence how we minister to our young people. We will adopt a teaching style that reflects our style of learning, and as a result may be excluding a range of young people who will respond better to another style of teaching. I discovered I am apparently an imaginative visual learner, adopting a more people-oriented approach. The need for variation in programs became apparent in order to address and embrace all young people n your setting, and indeed “The only bad method is the one you use every week”.
Heavenly Father, help us to embrace all your young people, and see what you see in them, vessels of potential. Teach us how to nurture this potential, and minister to them effectively, so that you can rise up young men and women who have a passion for you.
