Principles in Children and Youth Ministries

June 20th until September 11th 2011

Half of the world's population is under the age of 18.

About 85% of all Christians get saved before the age of 13.

Yet still a minority of all Christian work is focused on children!

If you want to make a difference in the lives of children & youth around the Middle East or anywhere in the world, the School of Principles in Children and Youth Ministries is for you. This 12 week training course will inspire and equip you with tools to reach the younger generations with hope and a destiny! The curriculum includes studying each phase of childhood development and strategic ways of working with the different age groups, programs to reach kids in and outside of the church setting, how to set boundaries in education, children at risk issues, etc.
