FLD Resources Links Page:
The Following links have been helpful for current District Youth Pastors as they prepare material and find ideas for their programs.
- www.simplyyouthministry.com Doug Fields Purpose Driven material: Great for plug and play material and programs from a week of camp pre planned to how to begin Small Groups. (Note...contact Kyle if you are looking for something specific, he would be happy to loan to you to use)
- http://www.thesource4ym.com/: #1 sight for games! Jonathan McKee's sight has literally thousands of games and ideas from icebreakers, large group games, mixers, dramas. Jonathan also has some great books for youth leaders as well.
- Center for Parent/Youth Understanding:
This site has a veritable plethora of great resources about youth culture. Walt Mueller, president of Center for Parent/Youth Understanding (CPYU), publishes a quarterly newsletter about youth culture available on this CPYU web site. This is great site with lots of useful links to help us keep current with where youth are today. Check it out. - Family.org:
I use this Focus on the Family website for their section on media. Scroll down the left hand side and press Media and Culture for Film reviews, Music Reviews and TV reviews. The Film reviews are from a Christian perspective and list all positive elements, spiritual content, sexual content, violence, etc. A great site to check out before taking your family to see "American Pie." - Passageway:
One of the best sites on the net for Christian students. Be sure to hit "Play" on the home page to listen to cool music while you browse this site sponsored by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Assoc. (Click the "Track" button for more tunes.) A not-too-busy, easy to follow resource with a Q&A page worth referring your students and their friends to, along with "Believe" and "Grow" pages for non, new, and used Christians to explore loads of culture current topics and other questions about growing and becoming a follower of Jesus. There are also informative pages on pop culture profiling believers in the arts and sports and quick takes on movies and music. Students and youth workers alike will appreciate the free downloads. - Screen It:
This is an incredible resource to screen movies or music before you see or listen to it. This detailed site reviews and lists every bad word, inappropriate scene, etc. Check it out! - Youth Specialties:
This site needs no introduction. The Youth Specialties page is the hub of youth ministry resources. "I'm not worthy! I'm not worthy!" Especially check out their games page and choose Youth Ministry Forum's message board on Games & crowdbreakers. All their links are extremely helpful ... the entire site is a "must see!"
