CONNECTING
”One person trained twelve human beings who went on to so influence the
world that time itself is now recorded as being before (B.C.) or after (A.D.) his
existence.”
This quote was taken from the introduction of the book "Jesus, CEO: Using
Ancient Wisdom for Visionary Leadership", written by Laurie Beth Jones and
published by Hyperion. It shows how much power one person has to change
the world. We hope it inspires church leaders to use there communications
systems to change the future for millions of at-risk youth throughout America,
and the world.
Read and share the ideas in the following pages to see how faith communities
can help transform the lives of youth living in big city poverty neighborhoods.

When a faith leader, or youth minister,
communicates, many listen. Many follow.
This city needs leaders in every sector who take this role, not one or two high profile people.

OUTREACH STRATEGY:
We want to get faith groups in
affluent suburban areas, as well
as in inner city areas, to be
delivering sermons on a regular
basis, that tie scripture and
service, and point members to
tutor/mentor programs that
already exist, or to
neighborhoods, where new
programs need to be created.
In this graphic, we illustrate how one faith leader (Rev. Hall), can use his/her blog, sermon, radio
show and web site, to reach out to members of the congregation, and provide information they can
share with people in their own networks. We also show how these faith leaders can host networking
sessions at the November and May Tutor/Mentor Leadership and Networking Conference, in
Chicago (see www.tutormentorconference.org ) and how they can host events at different church,
mosque and temple locations, during January and August, to draw attention to tutor/mentor
programs in their own neighborhood, or in neighborhoods that they have adopted.

Imagine if someone in a Methodist
Youth organization were building a
map with X overlays indicating
congregations who were implementing
the ideas in this presentation. Such
groups could be sharing ideas at the
x spring and fall Tutor/Mentor
Conferences, to help others learn from
them so the number of X s on the map
grow each year.
