Diffusion of Youth Ministry

By Anthony J. Gryskiewicz | Ministry to teenagers in continental Europe is less developed than in other parts of the world. While Western and Northern Europe report robust youth participation, youth ministry seems underdeveloped in Central and Eastern Europe. Noting that there are global commonalities to youth ministry and how innovation is diffused, a diffusion model of youth ministry could help global workers and local churches to develop and strengthen ministry to teens in continental Europe.
