GLOBAL YOUTH LEADERS
________________
Connect your youth group with youth groups around the world.
Start Local, Go Global
Before 21
77 percent of all people who come to Christ do so before they reach the age of twenty-one!
1/3 Youth Age
One-third of the earth’s population is considered youth age according to U.N. statistics!
Before 18
The chances of reaching people for Christ diminish drastically after age 18!
Outside America
Only six percent of youth outreach is focused upon areas outside America, where over 94% of all youth live!
12/24 Window
By 2050 over half of the global population will be youth. It has been called the “12/24 Window.”
For over 15 years Global Youth Ministry has actively ministered among the world’s youth through youth-oriented mission projects, leadership training events and youth camps worldwide on almost every continent.
But the need among the world’s youth is critical, and cooperative action is essential. Who will reach these young people? We believe your youth group can help in a significant way! You may not be able to reach 2.1 billion youth, but you can help reach youth in just one community somewhere else on the planet!
Young people comprise the “12/24 Window” (people between the ages of 12 and 24) of missions! We know that people who do not receive Christ by their 18th birthday are far less likely to ever respond to Him in faith. Who best to reach youth than the youth in your group? We should use the resources God has given to us to reach the world’s youth while they are still young, searching and open to the claims of Christ!
The future is in the hands of the young, but equipping of the young to live responsibly is in our hands now! Global Youth Ministry provides leadership resources and training through curriculum, leadership conferences, camps, cross-cultural missions, overseas mentoring and the Institute for Global Youth Studies. There is much we can do to lead the way in reaching the youth of the nations. Let’s act now—together—to bring hope to the young…now!
What Can You Do as an Individual?
As a Youth Leader in your Church what can you do?
What Can Your Youth Group Do?
They can PRAY specifically for a needy youth group with whom they partner!
- “Global Mission Moments,” online videos sent to you monthly by your ministry youth partner abroad, will focus your teens upon the prayer needs of teens in your partner youth group abroad.
- Global Bible studies offer “on-sight” Bible Studies from places like Jerusalem, Nairobi, Sao Paulo, Shanghai, etc, taught by Global Youth Ministry mentors.
- “Global Live” chats will allow your group to actually see and connect with your partner group. Our Youth Mentors abroad will set up real-time phone connections with you and other stateside youth groups so you can personally receive prayer updates.
They can GIVE sacrificially to help develop effective ministry with that youth group!
They can GO to minister with their chosen partner in another country through... SHORT-TERM MISSIONS
FOR Youth: Many great mission organizations reach adults around the globe through construction, ESL and other great programs. But Global focuses upon the 1/3 of the world’s population that is youth age! Global’s mission focus is youth reaching other youth.
BY Youth: Youth groups today want to do something that is hands-on! They are aware of the need to give, not just consume! Help your youth experience a life of meaning and significance through giving of themselves in service to other youth!
