Dnow- What Students Will Attend Your Dnow?

When planning a dnow you have a lot of things to consider. But you need to take some time to consider what students will be attending your event.  I do not mean simply looking at a list of names although this is important and I encourage you to take that list and pray over each name personally.  What I am talking about is deciding what type of students will be attending your Disciple now.  You need to consider what their interests and hobbies are.  You need to consider what their pain and struggles might be, especially if you live in a smaller town where you can basically pinpoint the majority struggle of students.  You also need to consider things like culture and how that effects the events and materials that you plan.  Most importantly you need to consider the spiritual state of the students. Are they predominantly lost?  Are they followers of Christ but new in their faith?  Have most of your students grown stale in their faith?  Or are the majority of the students in your ministry maturing in their faith to the point where they need more leadership opportunities.  These questions are the kind of things you need to consider so that you can effectively plan your event and tailor it to the needs of your attendees.  If you do not know the answers to these questions then do some homework.  Talk to leaders, parents and students. Do whatever it takes to make sure that your event can be as effective and powerful as you envis
