Eenie, Meenie, Minie, Mo!

Who have you picked to pour your time/life into?

What students have you chosen to help lead this group with you?

Some of the ones you pick might be the natural leaders who the students already follow, but some might be the ones that are still "diamonds in the rough".

What adults have you chosen to help lead this group with you?

You need other adults to help expand your realm of influence. There are a lot of students who will relate to you and really connect with you, but there are some who won't.

When you choose other adults to help you lead, you've just extended your ability to reach another type of student.

How do you pick the right leaders?

You pray! Jesus said in Matthew 9:37-38...

"He said to his disciples, 'The harvest is so great, but the workers are so few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send out more workers for his fields.'" (NLT)

This is advice isn't just talk from Jesus. It's what Jesus DID before he picked the 12 disciples in Luke 6:12-13...

"One day soon afterward Jesus went to a mountain to pray, and he prayed to God all night. At daybreak he called together all of his disciples and chose twelve of them to be apostles."

To have a lasting student ministry you have to have other leaders to share the ministry with you. You have to have leaders to pass the ministry on to.

Start today.
Pray and seek God's advice.
Choose some others (or choose some more) to help you lead.
