Christian Youth Work In The Majority WorldSean Marston
Young people in the majority world are becoming part of the global youth culture. This often means that the churches they are part of don't know how to relate to them or work with them and so many are leaving the church. What are the issues involved and what are some ways to connect young people in the majority world back into church and their relationship with God?

We wanted to translate the concepts in empowerment theory into every day language in order to communicate clearly with people who are carrying out the YES curriculum.
The theory has three primary components: intrapersonal empowerment, interpersonal empowerment, and behavioral empowerment. We express these as: “feeling”, “connecting” and “doing”. Feeling refers to the beliefs and perceptions that you have about yourself. Connecting refers to your relationships with others and with the surrounding environment. Doing refers to the actions that you take that affect your surroundings and yourself.
Each of these aspects of empowerment can be measured by several psychological constructs. These are reflected in our model by simple statements, such as “I am good at leading groups” (leadership efficacy), “I know adults who can help me solve problems” (adult resources), and “I participate in neighborhood activities” (community engagement).
When YES group leaders connect the curriculum with its underlying concepts they can do a better job of communicating the intent of each activity to participating youth.

An outsider might not know that I’m a lesbian and that I am married to a woman. Social Workers additional knowledge of the culture of a member of the LGBTQ community would be very beneficial for not only the Social Worker but more importantly the client. King et al. (2007) argues that (as cited in Alessi, 2013, p. 224)” therapists and counselors still require specialized knowledge to understand how to support a range of sexual identities such as bisexuality; how sexuality is understood by families and how they respond; the difficulties encountered by sexual minority youth; therapist expertise and sensitivity regarding LGBTQ issues; and the effect of therapists’ sexual orientation on the treatment process.” LGBTQ community members endure unique difficulties as those of other cultures so it is very important for Social Worker and others in the helping profession to be culturally aware.
While is it almost impossible to know every single detail regarding a specific culture, having the aware of the differences between cultures is important. Some potential consequences due to a lack of cultural awareness would be possible loss of clients trust and cooperation, doing more harm than good to clients, possible loss of job and even license. Social Workers who are not culturally aware could unintentionally make a discriminatory or prejudice statement resulting in the client/Social Worker relationship being harmed.

A social worker would need to know about what your race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status. I am an African American female. I was raised up in church. I am a Christian. I believe in the power of prayer. The foods that I grew up eating are collard greens, peas, pig tails, pig feet, corn bread, chicken, neckbones, and pork chop. I was talk to respect everyone no matter what their age are. My mother did not work. She received food stamps, TANF, and Medicaid to help provide for her family. My mother also received child support. My grandmother and uncle raised me because my mother was always going somewhere. Some consequences of a lack of cultural awareness on the social worker’s part are if you do not know about different religions, you might say something wrong without knowing it. A social worker may offend a client without knowing it by talking to them using a certain tone of voice. You must to set aside culture differences. You cannot be judgmental. You must to be empathetic.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
