Christian Youth Games and group activities: fun, faith and friendship for Christian youth program

Tim

Your site is excellent. So much good resources and ideas. I am involved in a Christian Youth Work which is about to become much better from visiting the site.

I used the lifeboat game at our Bible Club. Ages 11 to 14. Almost all had themselves at the top of the list. Later spoke about the Cross of Jesus and how he could've been selfish and saved himself but instead he chose to save others. Luke 23v33-34. They did terrible things but He prayed, "Father forgive them". The cross is all about forgiveness. Then told the story of the Duck and the Devil (forgiveness).

Hi Tim,

I did Trust and Prayer with my youth group about a year ago and it was a great experience. The kids respond very well to visuals and illustrations that really display the truths that we talk about. I try hard to find things that will grab their attention, and this really did. It was an awesome experience to see the light of the candles filling the room and how each person and each light and each prayer was important and meaningful.

We're a small group of about 10-15 youth, and I volunteer as the youth leader. I attend Bible college myself, and have no training in youth ministry, except being in a great youth group myself growing up. We are having a lock-in at the church this Friday, and I am still putting things together for that. I may do this again with them, just as a refresher. If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them!!

Thanks for the great ideas!!

Hi Tim,

I would really like to strengthen our youth here in our church. I always pray that God will work in our church especially on the youth. We had been very busy last month. We had our Summer youth camp for this year. It started May 05 and ended May 08. The weather wasn't that good so some of our activities has been cancelled. But God is good and we found our ways to make everything possible. Even the power interruption became our problems but praise God because one of our pastors came with a generator. And everything became good. Thanks to your games from your website coz we have used them in some our activities. I have suggested those games and our facilitator gladly accepted it. Even at night when it was raining, before we sleep, we gather together in a circle then we played the spin the bible. After exhortation one must have testimonies and I felt how it worked on us. Thanks a lot. I hope we can also get a copy of your book. But we do not know if that is released here in the Philippines. We will try to join the International Bible Hunt.

more power and blessing, glory to God,
