Intentional Accompaniment in the Jesus Youth Movement (BJYT003)

  Intentional Accompaniment in the Jesus Youth Movement (BJYT003) (By Dr. Edward Edezhath) There is a need to equip youth mentors with a deeper understanding of what intentional youth accompaniment means in the Jesus Youth context and to empower them with practical insights, attitudes, and tools to walk with young people in their faith and life journeys. 1.

On one occasion, a boy called Roberto slapped a smaller boy during a game of football. It was a serious matter, but rather than punishing him I thought up a different lesson. I told him to meet me in a classroom on a particular day at a particular time.  When he arrived, he found ten of his classmates sitting in a circle with me.

Some of his friends consoled him, others gave him advice, a few laughed the whole thing off (I pretended not to notice). And then this special “student committee” decided on its punishment: an immediate apology to the boy he had slapped and a two-week suspension from all sporting activities. This stratagem of mine had a double aim: on one hand, it wa...
