Let’s Talk Tools

What tools do you use in your ministry? While of course only God is indispensable which ones would you hate to loose?

Some of the things that I use every week would be:

MediaShout – To run our worship slides and talk notes

Photoshop – I normally do some sort of picture for each lesson

Publisher – While I am learning InDesign I still do a whole lot of stuff in Microsoft Publisher. If push came to shove I would have to say that this is the one computer program that I would need the most.

Text Messages – I hate everything about cell phones, but texting is an essential resource for keeping up with students

Spin 360 – This is where we get all of our band music. I don’t buy music from it every week, but most of the songs the music that we have comes from them.

UPDATE: I now use InDesign exclusively.

I don't have all of the answers and some weeks it feels like I don't have any of the answers. I often find a good word picture or object lesson and build the lesson off of that instead of the other way around. I don't always pray as much as I should and I never study as much as I should. But I love students ministry. I love watching teenagers as they serve God. I love to see them worship and forget about themselves for a while. I love seeing someone wake up to the love of God if only for a little while. I love to see them out serving their community and sharing the love of Christ with others. I love to be a part of their lives and I love seeing the world through their eyes. I am an average youth minister.
