South African youth ministry
Youth ministry, as a practical theological discipline, has surpassed the traditional concept of being a department of the church and is no longer satisfied with being fragmented to serve as a program-based babysitting club, department for evangelistic outreach to young people, discipleship class for new believers, or a leadership incubator within the church. Youth ministry, as a legitimate ministry of the church, serves as a hermeneutical agent i…
Youth ministry
South Africa is both politically and demographically a young nation, presenting unique opportunities and challenges for youth engagement in civic life. With over 60% of the population under the age of 35 years, young people hold significant potential to shape the country’s future. However, lingering socio-economic inequalities from the apartheid era – such as extreme poverty, high unemployment, and limited access to quality education – continue t…
Youth ministry as a public practical theology
Youth ministry as a sub-discipline of practical theology has traditionally always had an ecclesial focus. The focus was often based on the practices of proselytisation and discipleship, a sort of ‘reach and teach’ model whereby Christian believers would do the ‘reaching and teaching’ of the ‘lost’ youth. This is most true in an evangelical context and is further undergirded by a Western concept of personal salvation nearly devoid of any communal …
Youth ministry
The president of the Republic of South Africa has addressed the nation many times during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) restrictions and lockdown of 2020, and has spoken very strongly about and against the violence toward the vulnerable in our society. Whilst the COVID-19 pandemic has affected many societies, it has mainly revealed the brokenness in our society and the violence against the vulnerable on multiple levels. Arguably, a place…
Environmental justice as an act of love
There has been visible evidence of youth activism regarding environmental consciousness on the global scene with some prominent voices amongst them. An increase in research on eco-theology has also been seen. Yet, it is easy to become fixated on environmentalism with regards to ozone depletion and greenhouse effects, and miss the various nuances of the movement. One such area relates to consumption and environmental justice, and that means not on…
Age does not determine influence
Leadership and areas of influence are often reserved for the adult community. The youth are mostly regarded as developing beings, with insufficient knowledge and experience to take on leadership roles where influence can be exercised. It is often considered – especially in the context of the church – that the youth do not have the capacity to lead, while evidence from society and research studies points to the contrary. The author of this article…
Toward a contemporary understanding of youth ministry as a descriptive agency
Youth ministry within an evangelical protestant epistemology has predominantly been evangelistic, with the aim of reaching and proselytising unchurched youth and youth who do not have a personal and confessed relationship with Jesus Christ. Youth ministry, however, since its inception until the contemporary context of the 21st century, has gone through many challenges and transformations. The historical challenges of the youth ministry have birth…
Youth ministry as an agency of youth development for the vulnerable youth of the Cape Flats
Religiosity has a profound role and influence on youth development within a community. Religiosity promotes risk reduction and positive moral characteristics and thus remains an avenue of opportunity for transformation in considering the lived experiences of vulnerable young people living on the Cape Flats in the Western Cape, South Africa. The Cape Flats is an area that is overwhelmed with unemployment, poverty, gang violence, chemical substance…
