At youth ministry resources we are in youth ministry just like you. So our lives are devoted to considering the needs of the students in this generation, how to best reach them for Christ, and how to best equip them to reach others for Christ.
Recently, in that quest, we came up with the idea to start building custom apps for our own ministry and for yours as well. This came out of many things but one of those seeing the prevalence of technology in our lives and the lives of our students and thinking that there must be some way to redeem it and use it to further the Gospel. We still believe this and have seen it work. But there was a flaw in our mindset that occurs often in student ministry.
It is basically when you try to take a one size fits all approach. When we envisioned an app we envisioned what it would be like for our ministry and it has worked well. But while there are similarities between our ministry and yours, for the most part our ministries are unique. The students are different. Their situations are different. Their needs are different. And maybe most of all, the vision for how God wants to use you and them to reach others for Christ is probably different. We failed to realize this and instead put everyone's ministry into a box as far as what an app should like and contain and so many ministry app developers do.
Which is why now we are wanting to right this wrong. We still believe a custom app can be a great service for your ministry, but we want you to get what you need. So it is pretty simple now:
1. Contact us and let us know what you want in your app.
2. We make it happen.
So hop on over and check out our new custom app development program today.

But this lesson doesn't end with apps. It is bigger than that. Just because a book is popular, a training sounds good, or a strategy worked somewhere else, does not mean it is right for your ministry. We cannot fall in line with the church culture and trends in our world and do cookie cutter ministry. We instead we must be unique and fall in line with the will of God. Then as He directs us work a long side our students and our leadership to see what tools will best serve our purpose of reaching our communities and world for Christ.
