Resource: Basic Training

Basic Training is a series we developed for our youth with the purpose of equipping our young people to identify our enemy and giving them ways to combat him. The “Mission” is broken down into four objectives:

1.) Identify the Enemy (recognizing Satan and being aware of the tactics he likes to use)
2.) Equip for Combat (putting on the whole armor of God)
3.) Gather the Troops (the importance of a unified youth group)
4.) Rescue the Hostages (reaching our world).

As part of this series, we divided all of our youth in “Troops” and had different college and career students as “troop leaders.” Each week, there was a series of objectives that each student could complete to move up in the ranks and it was the troop leaders job to motivate their troop. The objectives included: learning a passage of verses pertaining to that weeks theme, bringing a visitor, showing up to youth prayer meeting, and memorizing the books of the Bible. All who moved up to the rank of General were awarded at the end of the series.

Lastly, week 5 of the series was Graduation night. We set up a Capture the Flag course in the back of the church and let the teams compete against each other.

In this folder are the Mission Objectives we passed out to each student, the graphics and messages we used, the awards we handed out, and the overall plan of how to execute the series. I also have videos and music that we used, so feel free to email me and I will drop box those to you. Email also for any more details. Enjoy!
