contains eight 180 page youth ministry manuals

P4
P4
is a comprehensive youth ministry training programme that
has all the flexibility and content you need to train your
volunteer leadership team. It is replacing the successful
TARGET7 training days, keeping the best of this training and
adding much more. P4 includes the following elements and you
can take advantage of any or all of the following
- Four one day training seminars held over a two year period
covering four training modules: Personal, programming, Planning
and Pastoral. Attendees receive a 30 page training workbook.
(For those living outside of New Zealand it may be that
I can arrange to visit you and present one or all of these
seminars. However if this is not possible you can still
purchase the material and use it yourself - see the two
points below).
- A leaders guide that allows you to either build on what
was covered in the seminars or repeat it for your own leadership
team.
- 60 page booklets for each module that you can give to
each member of your leadership team to read. These are easy
to read and contain lots of real life illustrations, checklists
and questions for personal reflection and discussion.
The first P4 training module to be available is Personal
and covers the call to leadership, the motivation for leadership,
the responsibilities of a youth leader, the trials of leadership
and leadership and teams. More details can be seen on our
website here
along with a free download of chapter 1 from the first booklet.
