This is an excellent resource to be using for 14-18’s from YFC.

Ok, I may be biased as a YFC guy, but you need to grab hold of Mettle if you work with this age group because it really is very very good, right from the content and down to the presentation.

Mettle works through 3 key activity areas:

1. Core Sessions – these teach the basics of Christianity and address the gaps in Christian knowledge and experience of many young people. Selection of at least two of the Core Sessions are mandatory and should form the central part of the programme giving plenty of time and space for discussion and developing biblical understanding.

2.Hot Potato Sessions – these offer a choice of challenging and stimulating sessions to get your young people talking openly and responding positively to the peer pressures and hard-hitting issues they face today.

3.Wildcard Sessions – these suggest ways to vary the programme by either socialising as a group or organising a practical activity that could impact the local church and community.

There is also a supporting website.

A sample pack costs £12, but for a limited time you can get them for £6 by contacting YFC head office on 0121 550 8055, the online catalogue, or if I’m near to you I have a few copies to sell too. Go have a look as I am sure you will not be disappointed as this is the best youth resource I have seen in a very long time.
