Pushing them forward!!!!!!

Previously this week I have spoken about consistancy, and being persistant, but today I want to talk about pushing the young people we work with forward to achieve new things. One of the keys that I have learnt fairly quickly within youthwork, is that I can have great ideas, fantastic plans, and all sorts of things, but if it isn't from the young peple themselves,or they don't catch the vision or the dream, then it won't work. god uses young peple as much, if not more than he uses adults, and I would suggest that we need to allow him to use young peple more to make a difference in poeple's lives, or else we do them a disservice and we do God a disservice as well. One of thbest youthwork things I have seen recently, is inspired by young people, and they are seeing more and more oung people making a dcision to know Jesus, and look into the Bible more, and this has come from the young people, not the adults, so there is our challenge, allow those young people o grow, push on, use their gifts, allow God to speak thorugh them, and not try and tell them all the time what they need to be doing, and hwo they wll come closer to God, god might already be using them.
