For justice work to make a real impact on students, leaders need to spend more time with their students before, during, and after their service. The lessons included in Deep Justice Journeys will help you prepare students for what to expect on their mission trip and service work and will allow them to reflect upon their experiences—ensuring justice work that changes students to change the world around them. Also included are ideas to help get parents and the church engaged in the youth ministry’s justice work.
Description: When students participate in short-term mission work, parents and youth leaders hope the experience of serving others will be transformative. But for mission work to make a real impact, leaders and students need to spend more time before, during, and after their service processing and preparing for their experiences. This curriculum and student journal helps leaders prepare students for what to expect on their mission trip, allows students to reflect upon their experiences, and enables them to genuinely debrief. Students will engage in learning exercises that help them gain new insights about themselves, their relationship with God, their teammates, and the world we’re called to love and serve. These steps ensure short-term mission work that has a deeper effect on students and on those they serve, and helps students apply what they have learned in the mission field to their own lives. Also included are ideas to help get parents and the church engaged in the youth ministry’s short-term mission work.
