Us For Them Christmas Challenge: a Discipleship Tool for Youth Ministry SPIRITUAL HABIT: Use Your Gifts AGE GROUP: Students TEACHING SERIES: Get the teaching series Us For Them that goes along with this activity here ! This activity is designed to help teenagers practice the spiritual habit of using your gifts. Because if we want to grow spiritually, we need to understand how God uniquely made us and then use those unique qualities to love God, love others, and impact the world around us. The winter months are a perfect time to expose teenagers to opportunities where they can choose to serve. A huge part of moving teenagers to serve is helping them to see that they are capable of making a difference. Most teenagers will equate generosity to financial resources, but what if we would help students make a genuine difference in the world using resources, connections, and creativity that they already possess? That's where the Us For Them Christmas Challenge comes in. It's designed to connect teenagers to real needs in the world around them and show them that they have what it takes, today, to make a difference! We'll provide you with some ideas to help get the creativity flowing, but ultimately the goal is to show students that they can leverage who they are and what God has given them to impact their world. All our discipleship activities are built to be flexible! You can use this activity in a variety of ways with just a little bit of modification, but here's how we recommend using this one: Use this activity to connect students to a cause in your community. You can do this at an event or on an ongoing basis.
