Youth Ministry Resources- Going Digital

When it comes to youth ministry resources, I will admit that some times I like the old way of doing things. I like a book to make copies of or a CD-Rom to download files from. This is probably just because often times I fight change and I enjoy hoarding.  But while getting resources to our students is often better in a more tangible manner it is not always best when it comes to acquiring them ourselves. That is why I encourage you to look into digital download versions of resources. For one they are cheaper. You do not have to pay for all of their shipping and production costs or all the pretty packaging. Second, it is more convenient. No longer do you have to take time leaving your office and going out to a bookstore to peruse resources. You can do it right on your computer. And finally, they are reusable.  If you buy books you usually only get one use out of them or eventually they are lost or worn out. But if you do a digital download you can use the resource over and over again. And trust me, you will probably need it again. So the next time you look for resources think about finding ones that you can download to your hard drive so you can build your library more quickly and cost effectively.
