Today marks half a year of Freebie Friday, free youth ministry resources, ideas and materials offered from Life In Student Ministry every week. I still remember when the “Freebie Friday” idea came to me while I was walking home from my old church in Texas and thought, “I can provide some of my materials with no problem, but I don’t think I can keep it up over an extended period of time.” I almost let the idea drop, but I obviously decided to go through with it and now here we are at the six month mile marker and I still have resources queued up to go!

In case you joined us midway through the series or missed something, here’s a roundup of every Freebie Friday so far:

1. Icebreaker Games

CONTRIBUTE TO FREEBIE FRIDAY: If you’ve benefited from others who have freely shared their youth ministry resources online, consider giving back to the community by sharing your own materials here. Send me your donations for review and if I publish them in a Freebie Friday, you’ll receive full credit, a link, lots of gratitude and a warm feeling inside that comes from sharing with others.
