The Bridge: Student to Student Discipleship
V. 1: My Relationship with God
V. 2: My Relationship With My World

N. J. Lindquist 

	Many people who have at some time given their lives to God continue to live without a solid understanding of who God is and how they can maintain a close personal relationship with him.  The Bridge V. 1 was created to make sure that today’s teens not only understand their faith, but also have a vibrant, ongoing relationship with God.
	Most Christians know that God wants them to live in close relationships with other believers while reaching out to nonbelievers, but are uncertain as to exactly how to do this.  The Bridge V. 2 helps teens live for God in today’s world within the context of a variety of different relationships.

“[High Impact’s] materials for youth cell groups are the best available, combining an intense evangelism focus with growth steps for new believers. Try it...you’ll like it!” Dr. Ralph W. Neighbour, Jr. 

“God is raising up a generation of young people who have the potential to change our world...Many believe we are on the front-end of a major revival in which (this) generation will be used in a mighty way. Never before have I seen a generation of students with so much potential. I hear stories from all over the world of how God is using students...to minister to their peers through the relational model of ministry called student-led cell groups. N. J. ‘Nancy’ Lindquist, through her love and insight for teenagers, has written these wonderful student-to-student discipleship book. It will further prepare (teens) to minister to (their) peers and equip them to wholeheartedly serve God throughout their lives.” Ted Stump, High Impact Ministries 

"I have been starting to read through The Bridges and my son will soon be using them for his personal devotions and we will be using them to begin his discipleship process. What I have read so far is awesome!!! Praise the Lord for you all and your ministry! This will be a great blessing to (my son)…" A mother
