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”

Salvation of the youth. While many people see the youth as a problem and a nuisance, God sees his image and likeness in them. Ministry to the youth is as important as ministry to the adults. They are as close to the heart of God as any other person. Some find it very difficult to identify with Christ. Some ask as hard question as ‘where was God when I was being raped by a gang of men?’, ‘why does God allow us to live in this pathetic situation while other people live in abundance of wealth in the same city as we are?’ These are difficult questions that I come across time and again and I have never found direct answers to give to the youth who pose them.  However, hope in Christ remains the most promising thing to a people that are faced with the hardships of slum life.

May they have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, for this will change their stories!

May the Love of God touch the Youth in the slums and lead them to a personal lasting relationship with Christ, for He alone can transform their lives for his glory.
