Christian Youth need to seek out the great Commission, we can do this by training and facilitating programs of Discipleship.
Christian Youth need to seek out the great Commission, we can do this by training and facilitating programs of Discipleship. Older adults helping with younger adults, older more experienced couples with newer couples, such as: Older high school students helping with elementary and junior high; College and young adults helping with the high school students; and, Older adults helping in all age categories as primary care givers and disciplers. As for our Youth, I desire to have adults from the church who love the Lord and youth to be assigned 1 youth, for which they are responsible to care for. Such as phone and personal contact once a month, and informal get together's. And mainly one on one discipleship. Training and curriculum will be provided.
a) Have a vision and a plan;
b) Follow through with training and encouragement;
c) Provide extra events and socials for multigenerational gatherings.
This is a tough task, but it is very doable and effective for His Glory.
a) Matthew 28:16-20, Romans 12, I Corinthians 12, Galatians 6:1-10, Mark 1:35 - 2:12. These passages tell us discipleship and mentoring are not an option, but a command. We must follow out of our obedience and mentor in a multigenerational lifestyle, caring for the total person. It will move us from just prayer to prayer with care.
b) John 1:36-52, Acts 10:10. Maturity rose out of webs of relationships of older people interacting and discipling the younger.
c) Acts 11-15 tell us leadership is about discipleship as Barnabas was with Paul.
d) The Gospels tell us the model Jesus used were mentoring and small groups.
e) John 15 tells us discipling and mentoring are a lifestyle of personal dedication by our obedience; that we see people being taught and equipped to live for Christ: physically, mentally, socially, emotionally, as well as spiritually.

A.C.T.S is an acronym or axiom that points us to the Lord's Prayer and other Scripture, and gives us precepts so we can divide up our time and purpose to engage in prayer with a correct devotion and attitude. "ACTS" refers to the percepts of prayer-the categories of Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and Supplication.

First off, there is no "method" or process on how to pray, as there is no specific principle on how to talk to your mom or best friend. We just do it. Yes, there is edict, attitude, and good ways versus bad ways to communicate. Thus, God does give us a pattern as a checklist to make sure our time and attitude are lined up to more of His will and less of ours. We must make sure we use our payer time with purpose and effectiveness.

What if I have never been taught how to personally pray or to talk to God? What if I grew up in a church that never had conversational or personal prayer? What if I offend God? But if you know how to talk and listen then you know how to pray!
