You can tell by looking at the percentage who pray and who don't drink or take drugs that they are basically good kids. There's just so much going on in their lives. Youth are reading the Bible. They don't seem to have a personal relationship with him, and so they don't tell others about him. That gets to some of the problems at the heart of youth ministry.

It's about identifying, establishing, and building health into your church's youth ministry.
