Last weekend we presented a seminar, Teenagers and the Challenges of the Modern Age: Communication, Encouragement, and Discipleship, in cooperation with the Zagreb Bible Institute (I still serve on the Management Board). We had about 45 people in attendance. We heard research both from the USA and out of Poland, the findings of which were the same: The main issue of teens in this age is high anxiety, brought on by the barrage of information coming at them through technology, combined with the high pressure on them through constant exposure to social media at too early an age. Solutions presented are highly relational, especially with trusted adults in their world, both including, and in addition to their parents. We talked about the importance of mentoring and discipling teens, encouraging them about their identity in Christ, their belonging with His people, and God’s purpose for them. We had special guests who helped present the seminar. The Southside Church of Christ, in Lexington, Kentucky supports us and they sent Joshua and Susan Samples, and Jeremy and Suzanna Stewart. Joshua and Susan are their missions committee’s Croatia liaisons, and Susan is one of their children’s ministers. Jeremy is their youth minister. We also had our friend, Andrej Lovše, who is a church planter and leads a country-wide network of youth ministers in neighboring Slovenia. And Johann Go, the youth pastor at the Baptist church in downtown Zagreb also joined us a presenter.
