Participation in Conference on Discipling Youth

The Dean of the Zagreb Bible Institute invited me to participate in a conference they sponsored last Saturday. The conference was about discipleship with children and young people. It was part of a series of conferences the Institute has presented, which in turn have been part of the research they have done about discipleship among churches in Croatia. I was part of the panel dealing with the question of discipleship with teenagers. So I got to speak about what I feel is the most important part of my work: Sharing Jesus with the young men I meet with individually. At the end of the conference, the Dean presented their research findings. Over 60% of respondents to their church survey here said their most effective discipleship efforts with youth occur one-on-one or in small groups. This affirmed what I shared about my approach with youth.
