10 & 9. The BTSS camp is quite challenging for me because it has been quite a few years since i am a mentor and the most challenging part is that i am taking care of a bunch of secondary school restless kids. Hahaha it was quite fun. There were some challenging moments such as disciplining the kids in my group because they are all very playful. Thank God for sustaining me.
At the end of the camp, pastor actually ask us to come up with reflection, decided to share with you guys, the following is my reflection, enjoy reading!

Characteristics of a heart of a youth worker who is serving the youths

As I ponder over the characteristics of the heart of a youth worker, I came up with a few main characteristics which I considered them to be very important to have in order to serve as a youth worker.
The 6 keys include:

1.Heart of God
2.Humility
3. Partnering with Holy Spirit by recognizing God is able
4. Never say Die
5. Understanding the youth dynamics you are serving
6. Giftings, abilities and talents

1.Heart of God- As a youth worker; we need to possess the heartbeat of God. I believe this means to have a heart of compassion and a heart to disciple the youths we are serving. I believe we need to look in the eyes of the father, despite the discouragement we may face while serving, we need to continue to love and see as Jesus sees them.

2. Humility- To possess the attitude of servant hood. I believe we are here to serve the youths and not to be served. Just like what the bible says. Often, it is really a humbling job to disciple youths who are broken. I remembered during the camp, one of the humbling experiences which God allowed was handling this youths despite their rebellious attitude towards me.
I believe God need to break us before we can rely on Him to serve the ground He has given us.

3. Partnering with Holy Spirit- I believe this is part and parcel of serving. Often, I feel so inadequate to counsel youths but that is when I cry out to Holy Spirit to help me. I realized through partnering with the Holy Spirit, the person’s spirit is uplifted. During camp, I was reaching out to a youth who required healing from God and needed to be comforted about God’s love. Initially I could sense that she was unwilling to open up to me since she did not really know me. I began to cry out to Holy Spirit to reign, there was a change of her attitude towards me and I began to minister to her.

4. Never say die attitude- The tenacity and perseverance to finish the race. I believe sometimes there are times we feel discouraged and disappointed over the youths we are serving. Since it is always helping the youths to develop and transform their characters, it can be a long and tedious process. Despite the disappointments we faced, we still need to press on to do His will. I believe being a youth worker requires a never say die attitude to look beyond the present circumstances we may be facing and continue to persevere despite not seeing results.

5. Understanding the youth dynamics- To be effective. I believe the youths that the Lord has entrusted to us are very unique in character and personality. Therefore, we need to be effective in serving them by understanding the dynamics of the youths. For example during camp, the dynamics of the Bedok Town students, are with short attention span. Therefore it is important to think of ways to engage them so that they will not lose interest during debriefing session and picked up simple learning points which they can apply.

6. Abilities, giftings and talents- I believe apart from possessing the spiritual aspects, abilities, giftings and talents will help us to serve effectively in the ministry we are serving. However, abilities are nurtured from the amount of experience acquired while ploughing the ground. With more experience, comes more abilities to handle the youths we are serving. This is because we are reaching out to unique individuals whom God wired differently.

I personally feel that there is one more key that is the most important thing to help us to serve youths effectively. That is Faith. As the bible says, without faith, it is impossible to please God. I believe Faith is this key that binds everything together. We need faith to believe God for the transformation of lifes. As for me., God is always teaching me to be consistently equipped with all these characteristics.
