ACTS Evangelism & Worship
Submitted by Paul Bauer
Technology is a big challenge to the youth ministry community. Many leaders fear it, do not understand it, or do not know how to use it. But American youth devote more time to media than any other activity, as much as eight hours a day. That is more time than they spend in school!
Over the past eight years, ACTS Evangelism & Worship has been presenting multimedia presentations that translate our faith into the language of millennial teens. We recently added “MyPod Speak,” an adult workshop about new media such as MySpace, YouTube, and instant messaging. It has been presented in the archdioceses of Denver and Chicago.
We also have found demand for a new kind of confirmation retreat for parishes that find it difficult to engage media-savvy teens. It features a mix of videos, movies, music, games, and interactive activities.
ACTS also is aware of youth ministry budget concerns and continues to work within any budget.
