To Benefit the Youth Of Africa​

 

This tour will benefit the YouthHOPE’s School of

 

Youth Ministry Trainers - Africa, impacting 7+ Countries!

 

 

 

Young people will determine the future of the Church and the world.  Our world is home to 1.8 billion youth -- people between the ages of 10 and 24.  With all these young people, the Church has a huge responsibility and a tremendous opportunity.  First, 90% of Christians make their decision for Christ before they turn 18 years old. Second, young people possess the most valuable of resources: time and energy, enthusiasm and idealism, drive and ingenuity.  All this and they have their whole lives ahead of them to serve God and their global neighborhood.  

 

 

 

It is to the Church’s advantage that one-quarter of the world’s population is adolescents and youth.  However, most local congregations around the world do not have anyone who has been trained to help these young people reach their full potential as followers of Jesus.

 

 

YouthHOPE’s School of Youth Ministry Trainers will equip local leaders to train the next generation of youth workers.  Our vision is to see the lives of global youth transformed by local churches who have been equipped to meet their holistic needs. This requires a multiplication of committed disciples of Jesus who can effectively teach principles and best practices of youth ministry.

 

 

 

In 2018, YouthHOPE will be working in partnership with AfricaHope to launch the School of Youth Ministry Trainers (SYMT). Located in Narok, Kenya, the Hope Center and its facilities will strategically position this SYMT. It will draw participants from all over the African continent. Leaders will be invited from Kenya, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Uganda, Guinea Bissau, and Rwanda. These are some of the youngest countries in the world and the Church is poised to show them a hope and a future.

 

 

Thank you for your participation in the 2018 Key West Bike Ride! Your willingness to support the vision of YouthHOPE’s School of Youth Ministry Trainers in Africa will equip new trainers to prepare hundreds of new youth workers who will touch the lives of thousands of youth across Africa!
