RYM 046: Reaching Students During The Week
Reaching students throughout the week can be a challenge, especially if they aren’t showing up to your program. But what if we told you that you could have an even bigger impact reaching students where THEY are during the week? On this episode, join ministry leaders for a conversation about reaching students throughout the week, inspiring your volunteers to invest in their students outside of weekly programming, and what showing up randomly can do for your students and your youth ministry.
