Studies show that 85 percent of Christians decide to follow Christ before age 20 -- making youth evangelism a critical priority. We conduct summer camps for orphaned and vulnerable children in Ukraine, Moldova, India and Kenya. Young people are also challenged and trained at festivals.
Listed below are our key Children and Youth ministry programs.
CARE FOR AN ORPHAN'S FUTURE
Leaders in the country of Ukraine care about the critical orphan problem in their nation. Many orphans grow up and become drug addicts, criminals and prostitutes after leaving the orphanage, largely due to the lack of jobs. Global Action has been asked by the government to host an annual Orphan's Festival to bring attention and hope to this problem. Your gift will bring the Gospel of hope to leaders and orphans from all over Ukraine.
TRAIN A STUDENT IN A VOCATION
There are over 100,000 orphans in Ukraine. Each year many orphans, ages 15-18, are forced to leave orphanages without skills, training or assistance. Through a vocational training school at the Hope Center in Kerch, young people are trained in technical skills for employment and life skills to become contributing citizens in their society. They are also introduced to Christ and learn of His plan for their lives.
CHANGE A CHILD'S LIFE THROUGH SUMMER CAMP
Orphans and vulnerable children in Kenya, Ukraine, Moldova, and India represent some of the most destitute children in the world; their lives have been devastated by poverty, disease and loss of parents. These precious children rarely have three meals a day or the joy of playing with friends. Through a summer Bible camp, orphans are given a brief reprieve from the difficulties of everyday life. At camp, they receive regular meals, and enjoy crafts and games. Most importantly, throughout the camp, the children hear about, and are shown, Christ's love. They learn that He has a plan for their lives, which gives them hope!
LOVE FOR STREET KIDS
Sniffing glue and paint is no way to dull the sharp pain of hunger. Crime and prostitution aren't either. But for thousands of kids in Bulgaria, Ukraine and India that's how they cope with hunger and poverty. Global Action helps provide a hot meal, teach kids to read, give them a Bible, and provide a safe place for them to play. These programs around the world may provide the only positive spiritual and lifestyle influence in their lives.
