Our vision
To raise up a generation of people to praise and workship the Lord wholeheartedly.
By wholeheartedly we mean “in every aspect of our lives” and “with a heart full of devotion” (Romans 12:11 ).
What do we do each week?
1. We journey together in fellowship and prayer, with anyone whom God has gladly called to join our group. We help each other grow by providing support, friendship, accountability and to ignite each other’s passion to see God’s kingdom here on Earth.
2. We seek to identify the God-given potential in us, and our purpose for being called to ministry. Following which, we aspire to grow and serve in the Church, being living witnesses to the glory and grace of our Lord. We are passionate about God and we use our different gifts in accordance with the grace that God has given us. And we do it generously – as with all our heart. (Romans 12:6-8)
3. We usually start our YOS meetings with a time of praise and workship to allow ourselves to open our hearts and experience the presence of God.
We also fellowship and attend interesting events together!
What is our mission?
Our mission is to inspire, equip and journey with youths towards spiritual maturity and leadership.
By this, we have set on personal growth and formation so that we increase in knowledge, experience and confidence, that we may one day be able to coach, teach, and mentor more youths. Because we are still a young ministry, our mission at present is to seek spiritual maturity ourselves, as well as learn the ropes of leadership, with the hope of one day, leading others to Christ.
In bringing youths towards Spiritual Maturity and leadership, we believe youths will be made strong in their faith, and develop a passion for the Lord and His works, to realise God’s presence and grace in their lives. We seek that they be equipped and inspired to lead others too, towards knowing God in a deeper way.
What drives us?
What really compels us to serve God and meet up every Saturday is an innate God-given passion, gratitude, and our response of love and obedience towards that knowledge of Him.
For many of us, we serve because we’ve been touched and blessed in many ways, and we seek to give the same to others. We were once ‘dead’ in our faith, but brought to life through a deep God experience at some point in our lives. All of us have attended the Youth of Smyrna which brought about this life transformation in us, and a passion to serve. And so we hunger for a similar spiritual revival for you.
We also serve because we have been called. We realise that where we are today is simply an act of God’s calling and leading, bringing us into this ministry. Following Paul’s epistle to the Philippians, “All I want is to know Christ and to experience the power of his resurrection, to share in his sufferings and become like him in his death, in the hope that I myself will be raised from death to life” (verse 10-11), all we seek is that we, as well as the people around us, know Christ and experience His Love and power even more.
Today, we are continuously seeking, still, to bring forth this God-experience to others, that all may realise God’s truths and promises, and experience His unconditional love in all its fullness.
