If you really want to make a difference, you have to change, too. The only way to make this happen is if you spend time before, during, and after your service preparing for and processing all that you've experienced. The Deep Justice Journeys journal has activities to get you fired-up to serve others and help ensure an impactful service.

Many of the statistics you read about teenagers and faith can be alarming. Recent studies show that 40-50 percent of kids who are connected to a youth group throughout their senior year will fail to stick with their faith in college. As youth workers are pouring their time and energy into the students in their ministries, they are often left wondering if they've done enough to equip their students to carry their faith into adulthood. Fuller Youth Institute has done extensive research in the area of youth ministry and teenage development. In Sticky Faith, the team at FYI presents youth workers with both a theological/philosophical framework and practical programming ideas that develop long-term faith in teenagers. Each chapter presents a summary of FYI's quantitative and qualitative research, along with the implications of this research, including program ideas suggested and tested by youth ministries nationwide. This resource will give youth pastors what they need to help foster a faith that sticks with all the teenagers in their group long after they've left the youth room.

The lessons included in Deep Justice Journeys will help you prepare students for what to expect on their mission trip and service work and will allow them to reflect upon their experiences---ensuring justice work that changes students to change the world around them.
