Ecc. 12:1

Remember your creator in the days of your youth, before the day of trouble come and the years approach when you will say, “I find no pleasure in them”

The work of the church among the youth. There are several churches in the slum communities which engage in ministry in the best way then can. There are critical challenges, however, that some of these churches face in ministering to the youths. Top on the list is the intentional and strategic models for ministry to the youth. The capacity and resources of the churches in the slums need to be built in order to be more effective in addressing the issues affecting the youth in the slums.  Working with youth is not easy. It is hard work that requires determined people. These people are not easy to come by. They need people who can walk alongside them on their journey of change.

May the Lord of harvest provide the slums with the right people who are passionate for the transformation of the youth in the community.

May the Lord direct the church in her mission to the youth in a more intentional way to respond the needs of the youth. May the church take the burden of reaching out to the youth as one of her primary mission area.
