Here are some things to think about as you reflect on the "How to Guide for Building a Comprehensive Youth Ministry Program":

1. One of the things people focused on a lot from the first session was the need to "duplicate ourselves". This is precisely the first step (p. 4) of planning youth ministry.

2. What are some of the main obstacles with forming a team of empowered adults to share the burden of ministry?

3. If the Ten Steps are so easy, why do you think that most parishes/clusters are not using them?
