Back to school is upon us again with teenagers shopping to get all they need for the next school year. But are your students prepared for the greatest missionary opportunity they may have right on their school campuses?
You can take simple steps to transform your youth ministry students into campus ministry powerhouses.
See You At The Pole
It is a moment that can become a movement. See You At The Pole has seen millions and millions of teenagers across the globe pray at school flagpoles on the Fourth Wednesday in September. This year September 28 is the date at a school flagpole near you. That prayer gathering can become the spark thats sets the hearts of teenagers aflame to share the gospel.

Prayer can change the culture of a local school as it changes the hearts of teenagers who pray. Claim your campus sustains the prayer movement through concerted student prayer every school day in the year. It is student-led and adult coached. Click here for more information.

School Partnerships
When you are in youth ministry for the long haul you need to look at the long game for campus ministry. You can look for ways to serve the school and the administration to build relationships that will change eternity. A good primer is the blog article School Partnerships 101 . Also you can view our Network Conversations: School Partnerships on our youtube channel at NNYM - YouTube.
Whether you equipping students to pray or sending them to be missionaries on their school never do youth ministry alone. I encourage you to connect with your network and do ministry together. If you do not have a community of youth leaders backing you up then find one on our frontpage www.nnym.org.
Never do youth ministry alone because we are better together.
