“RELOAD 1.2.3: Innovating Youth Ministry Training in Metro NY/NJ” (June 2010)
Here’s an excerpt:
Interactive general sessions and two featured workshops will originate in the Bronx and be simulcast to the other locations via the internet. More talk show than sermon, the simulcast sessions feature topics such as “Homegrown: The Leader,” “Handoff: The Legacy,” and “Student-Led Student Ministry: Pipe Dream or Possible?” The simulcast will invite participants to catch the “Aha Moments” as youth ministry veterans and their proteges explore themes like indigenous leadership development, inter-generational leadership, and impartation. Regardless of venue, Reload 1.2.3 participants will join the conversation via Twitter, text message, surveys, and camera phone-ography.
Also new at Reload 1.2.3 are what the host committee is calling “Plus-1’s.” Plus 1’s are student leader proteges of the adults involved in the program (trainers, speakers, and worship leaders) who will be integrated into the program and training experience. For years, youth ministry veterans have advocated the idea that youth ministry is not about ministering to youth, but empowering youth to minister. Plus 1’s are Reload 1.2.3’s attempt to model what this looks like by intentionally creating space for younger leaders to actually lead.
