Recreation as a Relational Bridge in Youth Ministry
Recreation frequently provides important relational and communication bridges to youth. These bridges make possible the church’s ministries of evangelism and discipleship. Recreation can be used as:
- a channel of service and support,
- a catalyst for outreach,
- a vehicle for ministry and mission action, and
- a tool for teaching
Most young people’s lives are changed by gospel truth as that truth is interpreted in relationships. It has been said people may come to an event because of the program, but they continue to come back because of the relationships.
