Converge Network Partnership
Exciting news! YouthHOPE is now a partner organization of the Converge Network for global youth ministry!
There is a great need for global youth ministry in the world as there are not many missions organizations that focus primarily on training global Christian youth workers. One of the startling statistics about global youth ministry is that 90% of the world’s youth ministry resources are in the USA, where only 4% of the world’s youth live. Even more alarming is the fact that of the world’s nearly 3 billion youth between the ages of 10-29, over 2 billion of them are not Christ followers. Therefore, the Converge Network seeks to bring together the missions organizations that are doing global youth ministry, so they can work together and so global youth workers can know who is facilitating youth ministry trainings in their area. Here is what they say about global youth ministry on their website:
We believe that any movement to reach the world's youth must be approached with a strategy to "Train the Trainers" of youth leaders globally. In other words, we want to develop a Leadership Multiplication Strategy that follows the 2 Timothy 2:2 mandate. Indigenous national youth leaders must lead the way, and we want to help equip them to do that.
By being a partner organization of the Converge Network, we are standing alongside wonderful global youth ministry organizations such as Youth Ministry International, CRU, and Global Lead to help transform the lives of youth all over the world through youth workers in their own communities.
