Young people are the future of the church.
In China, most church workers are approaching retirement. As such, it is vitally important for the church to devote time and energy towards fostering those who will take over from the current generation. The good news is that many churches in China have already set up youth fellowships. However, according to Ming Guang in March's edition of Tian Feng , the magazine of the Chinese church, youth work means more than just allocating one meeting among many to young people and thinking that is enough. Churches need to stop and think what the aims of youth work are, and then set up a variety of approaches to meet those aims.
