Youth discipleship brings about the ultimate reward: Seeing someone come to Christ, grow in their faith, and turn around and reach others for Christ. Nothing else in ministry could be more valuable than that process. Because of this, no investment of time and resources is too great in this process. Why? Well it is the idea of opportunity cost. This is an economics vocabulary word that means when you choose one thing you cannot choose something else. So if you buy lunch one day you won't be able to use that money to buy a movie ticket later. Well in ministry we have limited time and resources. So when we invest them in one thing we cannot invest them somewhere else. Which is why I say that any investment is worth it when it comes to discipleship. Because at the end of the day, if people are coming to Christ, who cares what else we did not get to do.
