Consumouristic youthwork

This is a topic that I haven't thought through properly, ut it is something that maybe I can see happening in a few different places. youthwork should be and quite rightly so, about the young people we want to work with, and the young people we are attracting to our work, but god also needs to be at the centre of all that we are doing. Youthowrk is not just about pandering to the wants of the young people, but it is about the needs, and how God, and God through us can hlep meet those needs. Our society focusses very much upon the wants of people, and pandering to them, without proper consideration of the needs, and this is what God is more concerned about, he knows our needs, he knows exactly what , not just we need, but also the young people we work with. So let's not just focus on the wants, but theneeds, and enable the young people themselves take the initiative, and enable them to work things out with God as far as their needs are concerned.
