Over on Whyismarko, Mark Oestreicher asked me the question, "What is the future of youth ministry?" Basically he wanted a few predictions for 20 years from now. Here's what I said:
- 20 years from now, youth ministry in the US will look like youth ministry in Europe.
- A few youth ministers will rediscover Jesus' model of youth ministry and actually try it out (with 20-somethings).
- The gap year experience will become an increasingly powerful tool in the youth minister's toolbox.
