Title
Student ministry leaders engage and innovate to connect with youth
Description
Davies has used Marco Polo, an app similar to Snapchat in function, to stay in contact with his high school group. Using the app, users send video messages in a chat format; unlike Snapchat, they can be saved, paused and edited. “I post what I read that day but mostly keep the app focused on community-building,” Davies said. “So far we have had 90 percent engagement with the senior high and around 60 percent with junior high.” Davies also engaged in joint Bible-reading plans through the app YouVersion, even encouraging students to invite others outside their youth group to join.
