God’s first words & thoughts...
Empowering
Enabling young people to become
the people whom God created them
to be.
Definition...
• Empowerment is a social-action process that
promotes participation of people,
organizations, and communities towards the
goals of increased individual and community
control, political efficacy, improved quality of
community life, and social justice.
• (Wallerstein, 1992: 1, in Innovation in Youth Work by YMCA
George Williams College, available on the Portal)
Empowerment
• Kerry Young: ‘For empowerment lies not only
in the establishment of power-sharing
structures or processes but importantly in the
reclaiming of oneself as fully intelligent, fully
powerful and fully human.’ (p4)
‘Fully intelligent, powerful & human’
• Made in the image of God – Gen 1:27
• Given authority and power to reign over
creation – Gen 1:28-31; John 19:11
• Having appropriate boundaries & structures
Gen 2:15-17
1) Create opportunities for young people to
speak of their theological ideas concerning
worship and other areas of Christian life and
to give their voices power.
2) Providing them with the language and
experience from which they are enabled to
speak.
But how?

Editor's Notes

  1. As Christians, we believe that every person has potential for good – no matter what you see in front of them. Our job as youth workers is to try and dig some of that out. It doesn’t mean it’ll be easy; doesn’t mean we’ll succeed; but that value should be at the heart of our youth work.
  2. It’s about giving people a voice into their local community.

  4. If we’re made in the image of God...we’ve got to be intelligent, because God had to be intelligent to create me...and Mike...and you! As we’ll discover this year, being intelligent is much wider than what grades we get in our exams. You could be the most intelligent and creative artist in the world and yet get straight F’s in your GCSE’s. Or you could get straight A* in your A-Levels, yet when it comes to having ability to be form long term relationships, you can’t. I can’t draw to save my life...yet Mike and I, I like to think, have been quite intelligent and creative in designing Aurora from scratch. And there’s no drawings anywhere in sight! And yet – do we fully understand what it means to be made in the image of God? Do our young people realise what it means?
