The Position
Serving at Bible schools, churches and individually, there are wonderful opportunities to reach young people with the truth of the Gospel. You can minister to these kids and adolescents in a meaningful way during their formative years, as well as mentoring youth leaders. Through English, sports, music, art or other skills, kids are coming to hear the beautiful message of salvation and responding.
The Need
Years of experience in Ukrainian youth ministry have taught us a few lessons.
Young people (ages 14-24) are more open to the Gospel than their parents are.
Youth desire deeper connections than they are finding in school and many parents are abdicating their role to other influencers. People with a sincere heart for others are attractive and counter cultural.
The Impact
Ukraine draft law currently requires men ages 18-25 to remain in the country during the time of war, but they are exempt from being drafted into the army. Many fathers and grandfathers are fighting and dying for Ukraine to remain independent of Russia. These fatherly voids are impacting the younger generation.
Childhood has been stolen by years of war. Kids are struggling for answers to their questions of: why is this happening? and how much longer until it is over? Youth escape into the online world and are negatively influenced by the opinions of others. Search for meaning and connection is where the church can provide biblical solutions.
Will you come and serve alongside some of the greatest church leaders we know? There is an open door to immediately make an impact for Christ.
