Attracting Christian Youth to the Church

By Cheryl Pierce

Most youth directors realize that it can really be tough to inspire, teach and reward today's youth for good behavior. Whether you're a youth minister or a youth organization director, it can be intriguing to successfully draw and keep the targeted youth in your area or even reward existing members. To get and to maintain their attention, you will need a high degree of interest, interactive amusements and the power to link something FUN with your church or group.

Whether it's a small youth event or a vast residential area festival-fund raiser, you want to offer fun activities that keep the youth wanting more! Inflatable games and other interactive items offer that cutting edge interactive entertainment experience. Games like the Box and Bounce Arena, Sumo Wrestling suits, Gladiator Jousting, Bungee Runs, Goliath Slides, Mechanical Rides are something that the average youth doesn't have admittance to unless its at a fair or festival. Using this type of safe yet challenging equipment is something that can appeal to youth from all around your region.

Are you planning a lock in? How about a Halloween Alternative Event? Or possibly a New Years Eve Party? The aim of all these type of events is not only to offer secure, Christian alternatives to outside events, but also to show that being part of a Christian Youth Group is anything but tedious. There are two ways to offer inflatables and interactives to your youth. Most organizations start out by renting their equipment although others will choose to buy equipment. As you're looking for a company to aid you with your youth ministry, you'll want to ask some particular questions!

Does the Company Specialize in these types of activities? * Do they have clean cut representatives that will help at your event if necessary * Can they be pliable to your needs? (Pick up and Delivery at your required times) * Do they offer a discount to Christian Youth organizations? * Are they fully insured? * Will they work with your budget?

These questions and others can help you detect the correct company for your youth group. You will also wish to find out what kind of equipment they have to provide. You'll be looking for bright colorful equipment and a fairly large mixture of games. Since the average youth tends to want to try different things, its of import to be able to offer different items for each event.

Researching interactives for your ministry can be a fun and educational experience. Along with company websites, you can also find Blogs and even Squidoo sites that will help you with your plans. If you try inflatables and other interactive games to boost your youth ministry, you'll be thrilled with your results, as will your youth!
