Youth Leadership “A Call to Serve”
You have been called to serve to lead from the front but not always being in front.
You are to mentor, guide teach and train the youth in your local congregation to cope and function as global citizens.
Your sole aim should be to equip these young ambassadors, who have been entrusted into our care with the tools to complete the work which God has mandated us to do in Mathew 28:18-20.
