The document discusses the importance and impact of youth ministry networks in Greater Cincinnati. It notes that while there are over 130,000 students in the area, individual youth ministries are only reaching 18% of them. Networks help unite youth leaders, resources, and strategies across churches and organizations. This allows them to more effectively reach and disciple every student. Networks provide support for youth pastors and help them sustain their ministries longer. The National Network of Youth Ministries (NNYM) aims to develop these networks to maximize their reach and help every student encounter the gospel. Their goal is to establish robust networks across southwest Ohio.
