"Your book is a God-send!! You have laid out in an organized and easy-to-read fashion so many wonderful ideas and activity plans that we will never again feel uncomfortable when getting ready for our next Christian Youth Group meeting. I am new to the role of Youth Group leader and your book gives me confidence that we can indeed succeed with God's help".

Hello ...are you there? I am reading your electronic news. You mentioned a book, the Bible but I am not familiar with it. You also talk about Christian youth and the man Christ. I would like to learn more.
I am not clear how I found your news report. It seems to have been by accident. I put some numbers into my compol and your report appeared.
My name is Mattpaul. I live with my parents on Lake Gael in Caperston.
Christian youth game that teaches Christian youth and is
Fun Event for your Christian Youth Meeting ...
Try our Christian teen version of Hide and Seek ... that teaches friends about some of the needs of the impoverished and, just as importantly, it is fun!
October 2011 ... Christian Youth Game and Activity ... We did Bombs Away then Trust and Prayer as suggested
When I asked the kids if they had someone they could talk to and trust with a difficult situation, they all said they did. When I asked "If it was something very private and they didn't want anyone else to know, except that friend," their response was, "No they didn't have a friend like that."
They really enjoyed playing "Bombs Away", but the more their guide let them down, the more they seemed to make mistakes. Afterwards, I asked if there was one thing they could change about anything, what would it be. Their responses were: world hunger, violence and war, gas prices, taxes, and bullying.
The most exciting part for me was when we sat in a circle with the candles and prayed. Every single one of them prayed, something that had never happened before. Before they left, I told them that I would be the kind of friend they could discuss anything with and it would be just between me and them.
Thanks for the great lesson on trust.
Pastor Todd Hartsock
The activity of which Pastor Todd speaks is described at: Trust and Prayer: a youth group activity that encourages spoken prayer amidst Christian youth and has been successful on several occasions with different Christian teens programs.

"I totally had to get this book"

"I think this book is really good and helpful. I first read the online version of the book because I did not want to pay for it. But after reading a couple of program ideas and having a very very successful youth program I totally HAD to get this book. It is well worth the money."

My name is Emma and I have a Bible Group (since May 2008) at Winding
Lake Rd #203, Sunrise, FL 33351; every Tuesday @ 8 pm. Our group is
called Soldiers in Christ and our motto is D.A.R.E. for
Jesus (Devoting And Rejoicing Everyday for Jesus). It consists of 9
to 14 teenagers and young adults.
Enough about my group (though I'm very excited and blessed with my
kids). I want to say, thank you for The Lifeboat Game. I used it in my Bible
Group and I was blessed on how my group responded. It's really
amazing how their perspective changed once the main purpose of this
game was told to them, which is, thank God that Jesus did not make
choices and he died for all of us!!! It's amazing how this makes us
feel not worthy and appreciative of others around us. Wow...it's
really AMAZING!
Next week I'm going to do the one on the Young Ruler, with a little
twist using the parable of the workers that got paid the same wage
even though they all worked different hours. Will write you on the outcome.
Thank you again for sharing your talents so that all the Christian youth can
benefit. I will keep you in my prayers.
Have a blessed day!
