Most of you probably remember the WWJD bracelets that so many people were wearing 15 years ago. WWJD stands for “What Would Jesus Do?” It serves a reminder to apply how Christ lived to whatever situation we are facing. What if instead of asking what Jesus would do – we asked WIJD? “What is Jesus Doing?”

What parts of our ministry are being blessed in tangible ways? In these parts, What is Jesus doing?

What parts of our ministry are being pruned? In these parts, What is Jesus doing?

Who are the new people that  have been reached or changed? In these people, What is Jesus doing?

What sacrifices have others made to make youth ministry possible? In these sacrifices, What is Jesus doing?

What are you being called to do? In this call, What is Jesus doing?

What walls are you being asked to tear down? In the tearing down, what is Jesus doing?

What part of youth ministry at your parish bugs you the most? In these irritations, what is Jesus doing?

In your prayers what are you hearing? In the answers, what is Jesus doing?

If we expect young people to have a personal relationship with Christ, we better be able to answer the simple question – W.I.J.D? What is Jesus doing?
