Today, there is a disconnection between the youth and the leadership of the church. With fewer and fewer young people attending church, a hole has been created in the membership where the young people used to be. With that, we are also seeing a growing generation gap in churches that impact leadership and how youth are and are not transitioning into leadership at the local level. How can we keep a steady group of leaders being developed in the local church? This book is a history, of sorts, of African American youth ministry in the US.

It is my intention that by reading this book you will be equipped with a strategy to develop young adult leadership that not only works in the SDA church but will work in every context where there are people who want to develop leaders.
