Jeanne Mayo's Companies
Youth Leaders Coach / Youth Source US President www.YouthLeadersCoach.com
About me:
Acclaimed by Ministries Today as "America's Number One Youth Pastor," Jeanne Mayo has thrown her heart and passion into youth ministry for nearly four decades. Her ministry DNA is reflected in her life mission statement: "The motivation and mentorship of Kamikaze Christianity into practicing and potential Kingdom champions."
Jeanne's ministry has placed her in high demand as a youth ministry and youth leadership communicator. She has criss-crossed the U.S. and the globe, speaking in countless venues to teenagers, college students as well as their leaders. Now one of her greatest joys during these travels is to re-connect with some of her hundreds of spiritual sons and daughters in fulltime ministry all over the world.
In recent years, Jeanne founded Youth Leader's Coach (formerly Youth Source), a non-profit organization that seeks, "To instruct, equip, inspire and encourage the youth pastors and youth leaders of this generation."
Through Youth Leader's Coach, Jeanne is now focusing on leaving a legacy for youth pastors and youth leaders of this generation. She is a coach, mentor and "Big Sis" to youth leaders around the world. Her passion is invested into a group of youth leaders she mentors called The Cadre.
Jeanne is also pouring her heart into creating resources designed specifically for those impacting the lives of teenagers. She is a regular columnist for Group Magazine and Ministries Today. She recently authored the popular leadership book, Thriving Youth Groups. Her latest popular book release is Uncensored: Dating, Friendship and Sex! People are continuing to praise it's blunt yet humorous honesty on hot topic issues.
In response to Jeanne's achievements in youth and young adult ministry, Oral Roberts University awarded her a Doctorate of Divinity. Jeanne also sponsors, through Youth Source, her bi-annual National Youth Leaders' Conference. This widely acclaimed event has become one of the largest gatherings of its kind, drawing over 3,000 youth pastors and leaders in 2005. Her next N.Y.L.C., Epicenter, will be hosted in Dallas March 30th-April 1st, 2009.
Jeanne found her way to the cross as a young teenage woman. After college, she married her "hero," Pastor Sam Mayo, who has been the Senior Pastor at most places she served. Jeanne considers her most cherished accolade, however, to be that she is the proud mom of two adult sons, Josh and Justin. Jeanne's favorite quote comes from missionary Jim Elliot which contains the words that motivate her to live out her life mission …
“He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.”

Hello Mrs. Jeanne, my name is Luke Headley and I am apart of the Underground Discipleship Program out of Omaha, NE. My directors are Brandon Kerr, and Mark and Dez McGaffin. They have told me so much about you and that you are like the greatest person in the world I am so excited to meet you in Texas.Pastor Brandon has told me about when he came for "The Cadrea" and how he learned so much from you. He is using some of the things that you taught him and is teaching the Underground and so we can use the tools to help our youth. The UDP is going to NYLC and I cant wait to hear you speak. Our youth group 220 just got finished with "Uncensored" and the kids really responded well to it. It's a great teaching tool and it helped Miah and I in our Connect Group. Her and I are leaders for our group and "Uncensored" helped us to grow closer to our kids. Thanks so much, can wait to see you.
Hey Jeanne, sorry but I can't make it to Epicenter. Open some eyes like you opened mine :) and I thank you for that!! Let me know if you ever head back up to the Rockford area!! Love you!! Always, Jacob Piper
Mama Jeanne, I love you so much. Thanks you for everything, I will always look up too you and consider you family.NYLC was amazing I basically got my face torn off by every speaker and the Corey Evans band was amazing. I had the honor of meeting the drummer Luke, he and I talked quite a bit. He has such a heart for ministry and it was amazing how him and I connected right of the bat. I can't wait to come to NYLC again. And I will see you in Tulsa at Excellerate Youth Conference. Keep in touch and I hope to see you so much.
Luke 2:15-21 "And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which has come to pass, which the Lord has made known unto us. And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a crib. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them. And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb."
Take the time to take a brake, in the Christmas stress, and thank the LORD for all that He have given us.
i love you mom!!! i have been at the apartments for 3 days with bronchitis!!! if i miss jeanne time tomorrow i will be devistated i can't go a 3rd week without it anyways... i hope to see you tomorrow =)
Hi Jeanne. I had a decision to make last week that I really didn’t want to make because it went against my flesh. I kept hearing, "right choices bring right emotions". I made the right decision and I'm sooooo relieved that I did. Thanks for the profound words that have stuck with me over many years :)
hi Mrs.Jeanne, my name is Nicky Galde, i am from omaha nebraska. i am in the underground decipleship program, and my directors are Brandon Kerr, and Mark and Dez Mcgaffen. i have heard so many amazing things about you from them, and even though i am a leader, i am learning a ton from your uncensored series that we have been working with our youth group. i just wanted to stop by and say hey and tell you how amazing of a woman you are, and how much you have impacted Liberty Christian Centers youth. i also cannot wait to meet you in Tulsa.
Jeanne, Its JD Gregory...met you a few years ago..You invited me to be a part of your YP Fellowship..Can I still be apart? God Bless...Hope to hear from you soon! JD
Just wanted to say thanks for running a successful program in Rockford. 16 years ago at Cross Current I truly experienced God and to this day His presence still resides in me and is inescapable.
