Welcome to
Why am I doing youth work?
List as many reasons
as you can as to why
you and your
volunteers are doing
youth work.
Why am I doing youth work?
- Sense of calling
- Giving something back to the Church
- Christian youth workers had a big impact on my life
- Guilt-trip: Because no-one else would do it
- Seeing young people develop and grow
- Job – paid / contracted to do it
-When we get space to stand back, reflect and see what God is doing
-Wanting to provide somewhere in church for our children and their friends
-Our history / background / story might motivate us to work with a certain
group of young people
Motivations
Why am I doing youth work?
God calling…In pairs, think of Biblical examples of people being called
Moses
Noah
Gideon
Samuel
David
Disciples
Paul
2 Sam 16: 7b: The Lord does not look
at the things people look at. People
look at the outward appearance, but
the Lord looks at the heart.”
How did they know
what they were called
to do? Were they all
called in the same
way?
Are you called?
• Are you called to youth ministry?
• Should you do anything you’re not called to?
• You may have a number of callings.
• You may be acting out of obedience.
• Are our responsibilities our callings?
• Are you investing as much in your calling to your
family and friends as you are to your youth work?
Why am I doing youth work?
Who am i?
List your values, skills,
interests, passions,
experiences, knowledge,
personality, character and
attributes around the person-
outline
Psalm 139
Lord, you have examined me
    and know all about me.
2 
You know when I sit down and when I get up.
    You know my thoughts before I think them.
3 
You know where I go and where I lie down.
    You know everything I do.
Why am I doing youth work?
Some questions to
ask yourself…
• Who has God made me to be?
• How has God led me to youth ministry?
• What can I offer young people?
• Which of my values match the values of youth
ministry?
Journey… calling… vocation
Why am I doing youth work?
Jeremiah 18
This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: 2 
“Go down to the
potter’s house, and there I will give you my message.” 3 
So I went down to the
potter’s house, and I saw him working at the wheel. 4 
But the pot he was
shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed it into
another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him.
5 
Then the word of the Lord came to me. 6 
He said,
“Can I not do with you, Israel, as this potter does?
declares the Lord. “Like clay in the hand of the potter,
so are you in my hand, Israel.
God wants to use us, shape
us, mend us…
Pray together.

youth worker and as a individual beyond Aurora?

Editor's Notes

  1. Each person has to share either a highlight or a reason for doing youth work from someone else in their group.
  2. Has anyone got a story they’re willing to share about how they felt God call them, either into youth work or something else? ‘Feed my sheep...’
  3. Point 4 – picture from someone about standing in a river against the current, and was simply standing in obedience.
  4. Encourage you to make the most of each other this year. Support each other outside of the Aurora sessions. Meet up where you can. Offer to pray for and with each other.
