Find a place to host it.  Check out the legalities involved.  Have waiver / permission forms including health insurance info.  Ask around for donations of equipment.  Contact local church camps to see if they have a program that you can get ideas from and get some input on the ins and outs and then dive in with open arms!

Depending on the age, I would go with the Boy Scouts of America or the Cub Scouts. Skip the Girl Scouts -- they are too PC. \n\nLook for a church that has the AWANA program.

I believe you should definately pray about it, define what area of ministry you want to get into and location you might be interested in serving at, get guidance from your local Bible college or from church.  Search the internet postings, search in google "ministry jobs" or something like that.  Be patient, persistent, passionate and believe in your call, and ultimately that God who called you will show you the way. Even if you start as a volunteer or intern, do it, get yourself out there and start serving.

You can try coffee shops in the area.  Many of them have bulletin boards that will let you post notices on them.  You might also want to contact churches; they might be willing to plug your program during the annoucements.\nIf you need volunteers, you can also contact the high school in the area.  Often, high schoolers need a certain number of community service hours to graduate, and many also want to be involved in volunteer programs to look good for colleges (and some are motivated by purely altruistic motives).

The answer depends upon you. What is your age? What are your interests?\n\nIn my home-town newspaper on Sundays (in the Arts and Entertainment Section) there is a section about volunteers.  Agencies are listed with phone numbers, addresses and the like. Also listed are the responsibilities of the volunteers (clerical, janitorial, computers, etc)\n\nSome places to check out:\n\nPublic Libraries\nHospitals\nNursing Homes\nAnimal Shelters\nHospice\nUnited Way Agencies\n\nDuring the summer volunteers are needed for kids programs at local park and recreation programs. Some local churches run Vacation Bible Schools and need volunteers.\n\nKeep in mind, if you will be working with children, you may be asked to fill out information and undergo a background check.\n\nVolunteering is worthwhile. It gives you lots of experience and adds to your resume if you are considering applying for work.

Call your local YMCA and ask them if they have any camps.  YMCA is a great place for kids, if that is what you are looking for.

You already have the answer. "The funding is expected from the generous Christian community."  Make it official.  Write grant requests.  Contact foundations and churches.  Search Amazon.com for fundraising books.  Try contacting the creators of some other independent spiritual movies and ask them for help is coming up with a plan.

Go to websites such as World Vision etc. or inquire through your church.  You have to be a Christian or for World Vision you have to get 3 ppl. to be sponsors and pay airfare (very expensive) to be a volunteer overseas.  This is what I've found through my research - I'm still hoping to find an organization that has different requirements.  Also, if you want to teach English, you could give your services that way and actually get paid to do it.

When I began going to church, I was the most quiet and shy person you could dream of.  I imagine I had a lot in common with the teens in your church.  One thing that helped me open up was all of the activities we got together for outside of church: bowling, hanging out as a group w/our youth ministers at someone's house. . . .   Doing this put me in a more comfortable setting and helped me to relax more.  Another thing was picking a discussion topic that you feel certian AT LEAST 80% of teens have had experiences with.  One topic I have been involved in discussing is online communities(such as MySpace) and how they affect your spirituality and thinking.  Be sure to make it clear that you are interested in everyone's ideas.  This will make them proud of what they believe, and they will be more willing to share ideas.  When I say show interest in their ideas, I don't mean "oh, that's a good idea".  My youth ministers always seemed oddly excited over anyone's ideas and made sure that comment led to the next part of the discussion so we didn't feel like our voice didn't matter.  We could see how our opinion affected the conversation.

I would first start out by sitting down and writing out a simple outline/gameplan identifying what my goals were, how did I want to help, what would i consider "sucsess" and who did I want to help.From there you would have a better idea of where to look for help,etc.\n\nSay you wanted to have an afternnon mentoring program for toubled youths, where would you meet and what would you offer. Once you have your ideas roughed out, it will be easier to write a grant proposal. I also suggest contacting your local small buisiness admin about how and wher to seek grants and look at various govt websites.Just becareful of buisiness that offer to get your grant for you for a fee
