Fuller Theological Seminary's Center for Youth & Family Ministry (CYFM) has recently posted the full report of their research (Urban Empowerment Project) on the challenges of ministry for urban youth workers. The purpose of this project is '...to increase the capacity of youth workers to spread the gospel in urban settings by offering training in the personal and professional skills needed for effective long-term ministry."
Here's the full report: Risk and Resilience in Urban Ministry: Stress, Spirituality, and Support.
It's great to see this type of research coming out. It's a great help for those of us in youth work.

Hello Steve, from Urban Ministry Live and Unplugged in Cape Town. http://thomasscarborough.blogspot.com. In fact, there's a link to your blog on mine. The Fuller report looks interesting (I'm a registered Fuller student). "Feeling powerless to change the situation" as #1 stressor would seem typically Global North. God bless you, Thomas.
