Thesis Help: Looking for Resources

Hey, everyone! Over the next several months, Yvette and I have made it our goal to finish our theses for LCU and finally graduate with our M.A.’s. So, in an effort to make sure I am thoroughly prepared to write this thing, I need some help. If you have any resources you think would help me, please let me know.

The main idea behind my thesis is mentoring — specifically adult-to-teen mentoring. My goal is to prove its importance (necessity?) in a church’s ministry to teens. I will be looking into the question of how we do youth ministry with a underlining idea that we should make mentoring the groundwork of the ministry. I plan on talking to “Big Brothers Big Sisters” and “The Mentoring Project,” as they are two of the top mentoring organizations in the country. There is a slight possibility that I might focus even more to talk about adult males mentoring teen males, but the need to narrow my focus is yet to be determined necessary.

I have a long list of books and journals already, but if you have any ideas, please send them my way. As with any big project, you will never have enough research. I just want to make sure I do my best before I start writing. Thanks so much for your prayers and support!!

On a Thesis Mission

thesis-draft

Hey everyone.  I just wanted to let you know I’m now finally committed to getting this thesis done.  The wedding is almost here, and I will soon be moving to my new place in Salem.  All in all, other things that have been “getting in the way” are almost over, freeing me to get back to work.  I will begin this work Tuesday morning.  Please pray for me as I attempt to get this done and graduate in May 2009.  Also pray for Yvette, as she will have the same task ahead of her.  If you have any suggestions for research, please let me know.  My topic is adult-to-teen mentoring (and the importance of it in connection with a church’s Youth Ministry).  I’ve got quite a bit of research already done, but I know there is much more.  Thanks for your prayers and support!
