You mean well. Your heart is in the right place. But for some reason, you just can't seem to reach the unchurched students in your area.

Don't despair. With vivid stories and tangible ideas, Jonathan McKee will help you figure out how to reach out to those unchurched kids in a way that won't send them running from you.

Great for your entire youth ministry team to work through together, this book will help you examine yourself—your faith, your heart, and even your methods of outreach—to more effectively reach out to the students outside the walls of your church.
