2 I. Youth for Christ Overview YFC's earliest and most enduring motto has been, "Geared to the times, but anchored to the Rock." This motto explains why Unified Underground is a part of Youth for Christ. Within Unified Underground we are mindful of the world around us - the subcultures, the music, and the belief systems, but we do not forget that our anchor is bound to the rock of Christ who is our hope and salvation forever. Each element of the world around us can be a doorway to share the truth of Christ with someone. As leaders, if anything becomes our anchor other than Christ Jesus, it is folly; a boat without an anchor will soon be set adrift to the perils of the sea. A BRIEF HISTORY: Over 60 Years of Youth Evangelism Since 1944, Youth for Christ has had a distinctive history of youth evangelism. YFC was born in the United States through an impulse from the heart of God that simultaneously touched dozens of leaders in different places with a concern to reach out to the young people that normal church channels were missing. This led dynamic young evangelists, using revolutionary methods, to conduct lively mass rallies in more than a dozen cities under the name of Youth for Christ. It soon became an organization and Chicago pastor Torrey Johnson was elected as its first president, with Billy Graham as YFC's first full-time worker. Today YFC still reaches young people that typical church channels miss. This is the same heart that birthed Unified Underground within Youth for Christ. MISSION STATEMENT: YFC reaches young people everywhere, working together with the local church and other like-minded partners to develop lifelong followers of Jesus who lead by their godliness in lifestyle, devotion to prayer and the Word of God, passion for sharing the love of Christ and commitment to social involvement. STATEMENT OF FAITH: 1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God. 2. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. 1

3 3. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory. 4. We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful people regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. 5. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. 6. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation. 7. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in Christ. 3STORY: 3STORY is YFC s operating system. It is how we want to live. Knowing that if we seek to abide deeply with Jesus every day and stay saturated in His Word, we will be ready and aware of the opportunities He gives us in a lost world of teenagers. We focus on the being and the doing flows from there. It may be helpful to categorize it as a relationship paradigm; a way of seeing how the relationships we have with other people and God can be connected and grown. Because 3STORY has proven particularly helpful as we apply it to relationships that we have with our non-christian friends, it has often been characterized as an evangelismtraining model. While it may be a model (in the sense that paradigms are shifted as a result of learning experiences), it would minimize 3STORY to categorize it as either a program or a set of methods. It is a lifestyle of sharing your faith. 3STORY is a way of life that spurs followers of Jesus to BE good news while telling the story of THE GOOD NEWS, who is Jesus Christ. Stories more than steps Questions more than answers Honesty more than perfectionism Them more than us Love more than Knowledge If you are a volunteer or staff with Unified Underground you will be required to attend 3STORY training for instruction in the 3STORY mindset which is Unified Underground s way of ministry. 2

4 YFC NATIONAL MINISTRIES: Youth for Christ has worked in many ways over the years to reach youth in various settings. Our national ministries focus on specific subsets of youth to bring the gospel to any kid, anywhere. Deaf Teen Quest: Ministers to youth in the deaf community. Unified Underground: Ministers to youth in underground subcultures. Military: Ministers to youth on military bases worldwide. Campus Life: Ministers to lost students in local high schools. Campus Life M: Ministers to lost students in local middle schools. City Life: Ministers to lost teens in urban neighborhoods. Core: Coaches Christian teens to reach their friends for Christ. Juvenile Justice: Ministers to at-risk youth in juvenile institutions. Parent Life: Ministers to pregnant and parenting teens. 5 ESSENTIALS: 1. Widespread Prayer: we deliberately engage lots of Christians to intercede on behalf of the ministry site. 2. Loving Relationships: we consistently pursue lost kids and engage them in life-long relationships with Jesus. 3. Faithful Bible Teaching: we accurately handle Biblical truth; regularly coaching kids to apply it in their lives. 4. Collaborative Community Strategy: we intentionally work together with local churches, agencies and other partners to provide sustainable youth and family ministry. 5. Adults Who Empower: we strategically develop leaders to reach young people from every people group. BALANCED LIFE MINISTRY PHILOSOPHY: The YFC philosophy of ministry equates responsible evangelism with relational evangelism. In the context of relationship, a balanced life is modeled by staff and encouraged in students. Staff strive to develop a mental, physical, spiritual, and social balance in the life of the Christian teenager enabling them to successfully communicate, in action and word, their personal faith in Jesus Christ to their friends and world. The Bible teaches Balance! 3

5 Luke 2:52 (New Living Translation - NLT) 52 Jesus grew in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and all the people. He grew in Wisdom- Stature- Favor with God- Favor with people- Mental Physical Spiritual Social Romans 12:1-2 (New Living Translation - NLT) 12 And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all He has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice the kind He will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. 2 Don t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. The Balanced Life Philosophy drives the way YFC engages teenagers and life in general. We are not just interested in the conversion of a teenager, even though that is of first importance. We want to influence the entire life of the youth and help them find true balance (this is sometimes referred to as Holistic Ministry). Helping a teen through their deep needs models Christ s love prior to them choosing to follow Christ. II. Unified Underground - An Introduction Unified Underground reaches subculture youth of the anti-social or non-conformist persuasion (i.e. underground cultures of skateboarders, snowboarders, surfers, hardcore, hip-hop, street artists, punks, goths). Youth within these subcultures tend to be exclusivists. It takes time to become members of these anti-establishment tribes. SUBCULTURAL RELEVANCE: Before starting a Unified Underground ministry site we recommend that prospective site leaders contact the National Service Center (NSC), specifically the Unified Underground National Leadership team. Subcultures exist everywhere. Even though subcultures are stronger in cities, they are spread across the world in small villages and even in small farm communities. Unified Underground has spent years in each subculture working tirelessly to build community and develop a reputation for bearing the name of Christ, but also for being guardians of these scenes as true members of these subcultures not imposters. We don t reach people for Christ with the expectation that they will leave their subcultures; we hope to show our friends and family within these subcultures the truth we have found. We 4

6 invite them to come on this journey with us, in turn they live out their newfound faith in the subculture and reach others for Christ. For each ministry site, there could be multiple Unified Underground ministers working with different subcultures. Depending on the area we could minister, for example, to punk, goth, hardcore, hip-hop, metal, snowboarders, and skateboarders, led by different individuals within those groups. Unified Underground leaders need to be invested and knowledgeable of the specific subcultural communities to which they are called. To guarantee this, we recommend all prospective Unified Underground leaders go through an assessment. OUR METHOD: KNOW YOUR CULTURE! Unified Underground ministers are to be the best of the best. We are to be experts of not just our own subculture, but of all subcultures. Those who would use Unified Underground as a resource are looking for someone who understands all subcultures. We need to be able to communicate what we are doing and who we are reaching. We also need to be aware of the work of our other Unified Underground brothers and sisters who are on the front lines with us reaching any kid, anywhere. We are developing indigenous leaders within the underground subcultures -- people who exhibit the traits and values of the subcultures they are a part of. AUTONOMY Unified Underground allows our sites the freedom to adapt to their community. If individuals have a great idea that can reach underground youth, they are encouraged to submit it to their supervisor for consideration. It may be adapted into the national program in the future. UNIFIED UNDERGROUND RELATIONAL MINISTRY ACTIONS (UU-RMAs): Many YFC ministries use a variation of the Relational Ministry Actions. Unified Underground has adapted the RMAs specifically to reach underground subculture youth. 1. Underground Involvement: Underground people know their turf. In your territory, find your subculture s area and be a part of the culture (e.g., shows, fests, skate spots, art shows, etc.). 5

7 2. Scene Care: It is important for Unified Underground to not just attend subcultural activities, but to provide for the needs of the subculture (e.g., show promotion, holiday meals, seasonal parties, performances, serving promoters, band hosting, battles, road trips, etc.). 3. Contacting: Going into the world of young people in order to initiate new relationships. 4. Building Time: Spending time with young people in shared, everyday activities in order to build new relationships and model Christ-like behavior. 5. Appointments: Meet with individual youth to focus on their needs. 6. UU Leadership Bible Study: We use Bible studies to train and acclimate the underground scene to the teachings of Christ. 7. Discipleship: Taking a few Christian students and volunteers under our wing to grow them in the faith. UNDERGROUND INVOLVEMENT: Since most underground subcultures have their own meeting places (e.g., shows, nightclubs, skate parks, practice spots, tattoo parlors, graffiti walls, areas of town, etc.), we initiate relationships in subcultural territories. To be part of a scene is to know where the scene meets. So Unified Underground believes we must conduct our Contacting and some Building Time at the locations where young people congregate. SCENE CARE: This RMA is about service and servanthood; it focuses on the needs of our subcultures. For example, when bands come through town they need a place to stay, food to eat, a show to play, and an ear to hear. We are to be active members of the subcultures we are reaching with the gospel. Where there is a need in a subculture, we encourage making the sacrifice to fill the need. CONTACTING: We use this ministry concept all the time. To build friendships we must go where people meet. In the underground subculture world, shows, concerts, skate parks, snow slopes, tattoo parlors, piercing shops and local hangouts are the places we must frequent to intentionally contact our people. BUILDING TIME: We encourage the extensive use of building time to create community in Unified Underground sites. For example, we invite a young person we are working with to go to the mall, plan movie nights, and go out to eat in groups with students. We believe it is important to extend activities beyond our own town or city. We encourage weekend excursions (e.g., music festivals, road trips, skate tours, etc.). These trips are only limited by one s imagination. These events don t even have to be subculture or scene-specific as long as they are shared experiences that are within the guidelines of our YFC staff safety standards. 6

8 APPOINTMENTS: This is time spent intentionally with youth for the express purpose of going deeper into the needs of the young person - focused meetings to talk about their specific issues or questions in an everyday setting. An appointment is a perfect time to share thoughts and incite scriptural knowledge about topics that are relevant to the situations in the life of that young person. Be sure to follow the safety standards training (e.g., no staff or volunteer staff can meet alone with youth of the opposite sex). BIBLE STUDIES: Unified Underground s national team does not just want you to meet weekly with underground people but this is a good starting point. We expect UU staff to lead expository Bible studies* to teach youth about practical Christianity. These Bible studies are open to anyone who is interested in learning what it means to follow Jesus Christ. Most underground youth are hesitant or even untrusting of organized religion. We are often a subculture youth s first spiritual contact to introduce Jesus and teach about who He is. The Unified Underground community guides the underground youth into a relationship with Jesus Christ. It may take years for an underground person to trust the mainstream church. Because of this, we go step by step through the Bible (e.g., chapter by chapter, verse by verse) so we do not miss key questions they may have about the gospel. As the youth grows in their faith they understand the need for the church and being a part of a community where they can be fed. We also highly suggest UU staff stay involved in the lives of the youth we reach and not abandon them. A youth may say they found a church, and the next month stop going completely. Our hope is to connect the youth we reach to a strong church where they can get involved, grow and serve. With this in mind we stay connected to the youth we have reached for the long haul. Unified Underground leaders will see youth grow up, become involved in church, find a spouse, and have children of their own. We walk with the youth through the good times and the bad. Many underground youth do not have strong family units. In response to this, underground youth seek family within their culture. In many ways the UU staff person becomes their spiritual father or mother. This is why it is important to stay connected in their lives. *Expository Bible Study- a method to study the Bible that does not impose doctrinal bias on scripture but presents concepts and principles through reading the scripture in context** (i.e., chapter by chapter, verse by verse). This in-depth study involves exploring the literal meanings of words in context. **Context- is very important because it refers to verses before and after the passage in question. This means taking the passage in light of the whole of scripture. Context involves the environment and situation in which you find the verse or word. Unified Underground has found that the study of Scripture with subculture youth will draw and secure them to the church faster than just asking or coaxing them to attend with a staff person. A person submitted to the Word of God will be drawn to community with other believers. 7

9 DISCIPLESHIP: This foundational principle within Christianity allows for a young or inexperienced Christian to be brought into a deeper walk by interaction with an older or more experienced Christian. We recommend every Unified Underground staff person disciple no less than 1 and no more than 5 people at one time. Discipleship is taught throughout the scripture and is needed for the growth of the church everywhere. STEPS TO START A UNIFIED UNDERGROUND MINISTRY SITE: 1) Contact the Unified Underground National Director of Ministry (NDM), Loyal Thurman at Loyal@UnifiedUnderground.com to schedule an interview. 2) Have a member of the UU-NMT conduct an onsite assessment of your town or city s underground territory. 3) Complete an application and a background check (required for all volunteer, part-time or full-time staff.) 4) We highly recommend attending the annual Unified Underground Conference. This is a great opportunity to network with other existing UU sites nationwide. For details, visit A Message to Interested YFC chapters: The YFC National Service Center is looking to join YFC chapters interested in investing in subculture youth with individuals who are eager to actively lead a Unified Underground ministry. We may have someone who would like to move to your area or who may already live in your area that is waiting to join your chapter to reach any kid, anywhere. If you have any questions regarding this introduction to Unified Underground contact the Unified Underground National Director of Ministry (NDM), Loyal Thurman at Loyal@unifiedunderground.com 8
