ESSENTIAL # 10:
DISCIPLESHIP OF TEEN
PARENTS
Up to this point, every step has addressed laying the foundation for a strong YoungLives ministry and
then accomplishing the first half of our mission statement 4 introducing adolescent parents to Jesus
Christ. This last step addresses the second half of Young Life’s mission statement: helping them to
grow in their faith.
DISCIPLESHIP VALUES
We believe that when teen parents encounter Jesus Christ in a real way, their relationship with Him will
transform how they love themselves, their family, their friends, and their world as seen in Romans 12:2.
Our prayer is that by the time teen parents graduate or move on from YoungLives, they will have
internalized and be ready to live out the core values illustrated on this page.
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your
mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is 4 his good, pleasing
(Romans 12:2)
and perfect will
