As time went on, I increasingly found myself longing for a new youth ministry experiment, one that was truly different. I felt a growing sense that if I wasnt willing to risk failure by piloting something new for the sake of Christ, then I needed to hang it up, writes veteran youth worker Matt Overton. Part memoir, part ministry howto, and part call to innovative action, Mentorship and Marketplace chronicles Matts journey into youth ministry as social enterprise. That first foray into a new way of doing thingsvia a landscaping company that employs teenagershas since evolved into The Columbia Future Forge, a nonprofit that includes a fullscale mentoring program. The Forge does something youth ministries, though wellintentioned, often dont: meet the practical, daytoday needs of teens, just as much as their spiritual ones. The bonus is that the social enterprise model is financially sustainable, in a time when churchsourced youth ministry funds are drying up.Not all youth workers will be ready to dive into social enterprise, but all readers can learn from the lessons Matt imparts through stories of his own experiments, successes, and bumps along the way, and will find encouragement to explore new possibilitiesall in the faith that following Gods call will transform the lives of the teens in their communities.
