Youth Ministry Sucess?
"Young people are never won to Jesus because we did something that worked. They're won because God has laid claim to them, wooed them in Christ, loved them enough to suffer for them, died on a cross, rose from a tomb, and has called them to lives of sacrificial love as well."

Clearly you could leave the word "youth" out the quote and apply it to any ministry.
But will we ever learn to stop running after techniques?
