I’ve gotten a couple of comments in the last two weeks saying things like "Why is Youth Ministry Exchange giving stuff away when other companies/sites already do that?" I’ve got a lot of sarcastic responses to that question but the simple truth is this… We think you can’t help youth workers enough with free stuff.
With that in mind, I want to give you my personal top 3 sites for getting Youth Ministry Stuff for FREE.
- Simply Youth Ministry Freebies Subscribe to the feed
- Tim’s Schmoyer’s "Life in Student Ministry" Subscribe to the feed
- Youth Ministry Exchange’s "The Monday Exchange." Subscribe to the feed
Just as a bonus… here are a couple of other "FREE" sites that I use all the time for snagging good ideas.
Do you just take what is being given away and use it? Not all the time. In fact, with the YMX giveaway we’re trying to give away both a ready to use version and the source files so that you can easily tweak stuff for your use. To me, there is nothing worse than using a free or a pay resource and having your students walk away and say… "It’s not like they came up with that, it has some other youth group’s logo all over it." I believe people should give credit. But then again the point behind the free resource giveaways for me is helping youth workers look good. If they want to tweak a couple of things so they can call it their own, I’m cool with that.
