Small Groups ARE Youth Ministry

I am right now having a powerful moment. I just walked around and eavesdropped on our small groups. Not one to be into numbers, I did do a head-count tonight to see what my adult-to-student ratio is. As I write this I hear the rumblings of transformational conversations happening next door about life and faith and am so excited that we have 65 students being intentionally discipled by 16 caring adults. That's a 1-4 ratio of adults to students. I am so thankful to God for my wonderful adult volunteers. They are truly my heroes! As my buddy Josh Griffin Tweeted the other day ... small groups ARE youth ministry! I couldn't agree more!
