Breathe: 3 Dimensional Discipleship
Breathe is the name given to a new ‘3 dimensional’ youth discipleship resource born out of the work of Eden with young people in the inner city and developed by The Message. We believe that it will help local church youth ministries and youth projects working in partnership with local churches to disciple young people more effectively. It has been designed for young people reaching the ‘danger zone’, i.e. those aged 15/16, and particularly for urban youth who have made a Christian commitment but are at a disadvantage because their home life and social situation has offered them zero or very little introduction to the Christian story and values. Breathe aims to help such young people make a successful transition to becoming young adults with their faith not barely surviving but thriving.
When we say that Breathe is ‘3 dimensional’ we mean that it involves 3 inter-related aspects: mentoring, volunteering and worship.
- The weekly mentoring sessions involve using the MIND to think through important questions about living life God’s way.
- The regular volunteering opportunities are a way of using the physical energy of the BODY to put faith into action.
- The monthly worship events are about learning how to make a connection between our SPIRIT and the Holy Spirit who wants to fill us and empower us.
