10 iPhone Apps Youth Workers Might Find Useful

Just thought I’d share a few of my apps that get me by when I am in a pinch. Am I missing an important app that would be beneficial for youth workers? Let me know.

Productivity

Creative Whack Pack- This is a fun way to take old ideas and see them through a new lens. Nice for the price, considering I paid $20 for the actual card pack.

Receipts Lite- Ever get in trouble for not turning in your receipts? This will help you budget and get those receipts in. For more detail, get the paid app.

Entertainment

Guitar Tool Kit - I have to fill in sometimes to play for worship. This app is great for me because it has a tuner and a ton of chords I can look up.

Atomic Fart- Need I say more?

You Must Choose- Fun digital version of the Would You Rather books. Great for road trips or small group openers.

Education

IBook- This is a pretty good app for reading books on your phone. You can save your page, highlight paragraphs, and make notes.

Photography

POW- This is a fun app and a different way to post pics of your students. You can make short comic strips complete with dialogue bubbles. Oh the stories you could tell.

News

Fluent News- This is a great app because is culls major news organizations and picks top stories. You can also check stories by categories and save the stories you like in a folder.

Creativity

Story Cubes- This is a fun tool to get kids to make a story. Shake your phone and roll the dice. Each student has to take a die and make the word on the die part of the group story.

Word Twiddle- Feeling stuck for a word or thought? This random little tool may jog your memory. I use this sometimes when thinking about new names for youth programs.

Living The Dream - Paul Turner

Paul Turner, youth pastor and youth ministry coach/trainer/speaker I’ve written and re-written so may of these, I have decided to try and sum up my ministry in 6 words:

Loves To See Youth Pastors Succeed.

That’s what I’m about. It’s because of my 29 year love affair with God and my 20 year infatuation with youth ministry that I want help you and your youth ministry succeed. Sometimes it takes one good idea, sometimes a few. If I can help you through resources, speaking, or training please do not hesitate to call and ask questions 205-260-7229, tweet me at PaulTurnerToo, or catch me on Facebook.

I've always wanted to be a youth pastor and minster to teens at all levels. Youth pastors, along with camp counselors, have been my heroes. I have been ministering to students now for 20 years and started a free resource sight called The Disciple Project at www.thediscipleproject.net. Come by and say hello.

I live in Birmingham, AL. with my wife and thee great kids, two of which are teenagers.

I wanted to let you know about a new free resource website called http://www.BibleLockScreen.com which has lock screen backgrounds for the iPhone / iPad with Bible verses on them.

There is a free native app for iPhone / iPad on the App Store. Just go to iTunes and search "Bible Lock Screens" and you'll find it. Or check this link: http://itun.es/iF74Tq
