S.Y.A.T.P. Stragetic Plan
1. Mail them the strategic plan w/mission-vision statement:
a. Mission/Vision: Get Christian youth to bring their Non-Christian (Goal +250) friends from the surrounding West-Central Minnesota region (Marshall-Morris-Fargo,ND) and get more youth plugged into their local church youth group after the
"party". That they will become witnesses themselves for Christ in the "Great Commission" to the rest of their peers in their local
communities.
2. Have Christian (inviter) make a "3 or More Most Wanted List" (people to invite)
a. Have them pray for them daily until March 31st
b. Invite your friend to the party, wouldn't you feel let out if your friend didn't invite YOU!

Who? Mature Christians (college to Adults) who love to share the "Gospel", have a heart for the youth, or even love to listen and talk (e.g. share testimony.
What? Talk about "cool stuff" to get to youth's level. Be ready to hare their heart with "lost" youth or sheeps that been astray
1:1 Outreach Ideas During SYATP: Look for youth by themselves or even a group. Ask God for a "open" door to share with them after getting to know them through playing a board game, chatting about how SYATP has been, carry a notebook asking for suggestions or feedback on this event so far, but be ready to share your testimony and Scriptures.
Suggestive Equipment: Notebook, pen/pencil, board games (something to catch youth's eye and interest-joke book, CD's, personal hobby/interest, etc..) and possibly a Bible on-hand.
