On another series of shepherding the young people we are introduced to a booklet (light read yet full of insight) called “How to Lead the Young People”. One main and effective point that was highlighted in this booklet is, “the main and most effective way to shepherd young people is personal contact.” Moreover multigenerational personal contact and relationship with the young people contributes greatly to one person’s remaining in the church! In the booklet it also emphasizes that “the power and effect of doing personal work with the young people are many times greater than the meetings. Big meetings do not have much effect on young people; individual contact is most effective…the emphasis of a genuine work with the young people is individual contact.” May we endeavor to learn to be ones who “receives one such little child because of My name, receives Me” (Matt. 18:5).
