You have seen the last days of a youth culture that defines every student living in this generation. Students have an assortment of subcultures to choose from. No longer does a skater have to be a white student from a middle class home, but may be a first or second generation Hispanic living in a poor urban neighborhood. The color of skin has less and less to do with the choices students make, especially in choosing his or her friends. This cultural shift will force youth ministry to approach school campuses and neighborhoods with a new missionary mindset. If your community is a growing diverse community with multiple subcultures and you have a desire to reach them this seminar is for you.

It will start with Jesus, that Asian born baby, born in a borrowed barn, who became a political refugee in Africa. A whole village full of babies died for Jesus before he could die for them on the cross. If anybody understands the pain and suffering of the poor who are sinners (but most often the ’sinned against’), it is Jesus. We’ll start with Jesus and the Kingdom, but be prepared to look at texts in both testaments, and then think about the 95.5% of the world, which lives outside the USA, and which is increasingly Christian and most often living in poverty.
