It's an amazingly ambitious, tremendously compelling humanitarian event that's calling America to "walk barefoot" this October to benefit a world in which the gift of a pair of shoes can be life-changing to a child. That's the short definition of "World Walk," the fulfillment of Nigerian-born Samaritan’s Feet founder Emmanual "Manny" Ohonme's passion to provide shoes for the world's neediest children—a mission that to date is on course to bring 10 million "soles" to the feet of the impoverished people of the world. Founding Samaritan's Feet in a world community where today more than 300 million children are without shoes, perhaps more than almost anyone else, Manny Ohonme profoundly knows firsthand the hope a pair of shoes can bring.

It’s almost Go time. Your cast begins to assemble. On cue, the theme music blares as Gary the Game Guy enters with gadgets and gear to take on the fiercest junior high student. Striding behind him is Emily Empathy; she is the master of relationships and can make the new kid feel welcomed and the regulars feel like family. Enter Marty the Muse, guitar in hand, he sends the room into worship rapture. Finally, a man you simply call “The Voice” crosses the threshold of the youth room, prepared to deliver the message of the ages. Suddenly, you hear a voice that snaps you from your daydream, “Hey…yoo-who? They’re waiting.”

Many times when intergenerational youth ministry is considered, what we really are asking is, Where can I get some adults to run small groups, teach a particular class, etc? We need to make this as relatively...

OK. “Intergenerational youth ministry” may sound like an oxymoron, but think about it. What can be more normal than other generations being a part of ministry to young people / teenagers / students / adolescents / whatever? I’m not trying to return to back-in-the-day days, nor am I trying to sound culturally relevant, even though anyone who knows anything about youth ministry would know being culturally relevant is a youth ministry mantra. So let’s sound culturally relevant while suggesting some back-in-the-day common sense.

Not too long ago, I was flipping through the cable channel guide and found two movies playing on different channels. One was 50 First Dates and the other, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. It struck me funny that movies about the beginning and end of dating relationships were playing concurrently. It seems it is something like that in youth ministry. It is rare that I hear anyone say, “I wish qualified, willing, self-motivated, teachable, van-owning people would stop calling me to volunteer to be youth workers. I have all the help I need!” OK, I never have heard that.
