But how do you make that happen? This book shows you where to start.

Within are critical elements—the essentials—to effectively equip you to reach today’s students, including:

• Practical disciple-making tools
• Leadership recommendations
• How to partner with the rest of your church
• How to equip parents to disciple their teens
• What ministry looks like outside of your comfort zone
