#LovCov

We are seeking to bring together the young people and their leaders from HEBA churches for a weekend of inspiration, training, encouragement and practice of mission from Friday 21 to Sunday 23 September 2012. The weekend will be run with Chris Duffett (Evangelist and President of the Baptist Union from May 2012), Youth for Christ and Saltmine.  It will be geared towards mid teens to early twenties with the youngest being Year 9 in September 2012.

Teaching will be around sharing faith, street theatre, community development, understanding one’s identity in Christ, living for Christ day by day, and during Saturday afternoon the young people will be out and about in Coventry, working in groups with those experienced in mission activities, using a mobile skate park, football cage, street theatre, street cleaning and other creative ways of engaging people.

Cost

£45 per person provided we receive your booking by 31 March 2012. Applications received after this will be £55 per person.

Urban ‘Youth’ Mission is a unique opportunity for young people aged 13-17 and their youth workers, from churches across the UK, to come together and get involved in serving in an urban context.

Launched in 2008, by Ascension Trust (organisation behind Street Pastors), each year it runs on location at a different local church. After running out of Baptist churches in London for the last 4 years, in 2012 it will run from 23 July -29 July 2012 @ St Philips Church, Beeches Rd, West Bromwich, West Midlands, B70 7PF.

For those young adults aged 18 and over who would like to develop their leadership skills, there are opportunities for you to experience the event as a mentee leader.

Aims of Urban ‘Youth’ Mission:

• Young people will be inspired and equipped to; walk more closely with Christ in their daily lives, serve more effectively in their local churches, impact their wider communities, and encourage a greater commitment to mission in the urban context;
