Session 4: (Sunday 2:30pm-4:30pm)
Ministering to a Hurting Generation
The “everyday issues” kids are facing seem to be getting more and more complex. With addictions, abuse, eating disorders, family brokenness, self-injury and violence on the increase, we find ourselves more often left facing the wounds of students whose trust has been deeply betrayed. Whatever the circumstances, this deep hurt makes it more difficult for kids to accept our love and ultimately much more difficult for them to experience intimacy with God. Whether you do youth ministry vocationally or as a volunteer, this practical track will help you explore the complex, everyday hurts of kids and will outline a path back to healing and wholeness—a path which you have the privilege of walking with your hurting young friends.
