Urban Youth Workers, here we come!
By Jeremy | May 16, 2007
Move the debate beyond nondenominational prayers and private school vouchers. Explore ways to engage public education reform one school at a time. Equip your students to become the men and women God made them to be. Dare we expect that test scores might improve and the trillions currently spent on public education be managed better?3:15 - 4:45 Mooks, Midriffs, MySpace and More: Engaging a Plugged-in Generation
Corporate profiteers produce and market media for a target youth audience they call mooks and midriffs -- caricatures that exploit adolescent insecurities and hormones -- a strategy described as “grabbing below the belt and reaching for their wallets.†The result: average teens now consume digital media for 72 hours each week and increasingly digest that media online in what the New York Times calls, “Websites Without Rules.†This workshop will equip you to respond to this reality.Saturday, 8:15 - 9:45 Leadership Development of Indigenous Leaders (with Rudy Carrasco)
In communities blighted by absent fathers, incarceration, underperforming school districts, drugs, and other social ills, how can youth ministries come alongside individual youths to equip and empower them for leadership? Is developing indigenous leaders even worth the heartache and effort? Examine the myths, methods, and messages of effective mentorship.1:30 - 3:00 PM Living Out Social Justice in Your Community (with Michael Mata, Alexia Salvatierra, and Jose Dobles)
Amidst a world plagued with pain and suffering, we often respond with brotherly love and good works as the Bible dictates. However, God also wants us to move beyond mere service. In this forum, a cacophony of voices will invite us to consider what it means to embody God's Kingdom coming on earth, and what it looks like to begin enacting God's justice in our neighborhoods and world.Come visit us at Azusa Pacific University.
