Youth in Mission
In light of the continuing decline in numbers of young people in our churches and of the need for the empowerment of young people for leadership, the region wishes to keep youth in mission high on its agenda in future years.Its aim is to offer young people an opportunity to learn about mission through experience and to do so together with other young people. Three programmes will be offered by the Region. These are:
- the Mission:Impossible? Project
Mission: Impossible? Project
The next Mission Impossible? Project will take place in Monozsio, Hungary from 10th to 31st July 2009. This is a three-week project for young people between 18 and 30 who would like to explore mission more in-depth and engage in a practical project. Have a look at the publicity leaflet here and contact the youth secretaries of your denomination for details of how to get involved.
The Mission House is an international community of 8 young people from all over Europe who live together for 10 months in a house in Amsterdam. Each member of the community works full-time as a volunteer in different diaconal (service and caring) projects in the city of Amsterdam. They include projects with migrants, ex-offenders, young people, drug users and homeless people. The Mission House volunteers are needed to support them and to help them live independently.
