Are you interested in joining us as we pilot resources related to support what we believe are the vital behaviors that equip leaders to encourage youth to use their God-given gifts for service in His kingdom? We welcome you to download “The Know Name Journal: A Field Guide for Creating a Yes! Culture.” This Bullet Journal/Planner-based resource is designed to encourage leaders to “Know the Person, Name the Gift, and Find the Next Yes!”
Note: These PDFs are designed to be printed using the booklet feature on 8.5″ x 11″ paper, resulting in a folded 5.5″ x 8.5″ book. They will also scale well to print two-sided on 8.5″ x 11″ paper if you would like to build a larger journal.
Build Your Know Name Journal
Start by downloading a perpetual calendar for tracking birthdays, baptisms, and other important, recurring events in the lives of your youth. This journal will be used indefinitely. Download The Know Name Journal – Reusable Pages
Next, download the 2026 calendar pages with monthly checklists. Use your perpetual calendar to populate the pages of this yearly planner as you seek to know those milestone events in your students lives. Download The Know Name Journal – 2026 Planner.
Finally, for every 10 students known by your ministry, download and print one copy of the following student page book. The number of booklets you use will grow as more students connect with you ministry (you can invite other leaders to investing in getting to know these students also as it grows beyond your capacity!)

If printing on a larger scale, double sided on 8.5 x 11 paper, all of these pages can be assembled in a 3-ring binder, with custom divider tabs or small sticky notes added to ease navigation. If printing booklets, resources like a Travel Journal Cover can be obtained to create a convenient way to organize and make readily available these materials.
As you work with these resources, we would love to hear your thoughts. Feedback may be submitted through this Google form.
