YOUTH Leader Unity

Youth leaders who meet together locally not only last longer; they can become more effective in making disciples of those who don’t know Christ.

What if youth leaders again regularly gathered in each city and town — to PRAY about what they could uniquely DO together in service to their mission.

A proposed vision and destination:

That every youth in Aotearoa New Zealand has the opportunity to encounter the love, hope, and teachings of Jesus through a conversation with or invitation from a friend.

Would you be willing to unite where you live to help this happen there?

How to lead a youth leaders’ network

Understand the process

Stage 1: Coffee Unity – Get to know each other

Stage 2: Prayer Unity – Pray bigger

Stage 3: Functional Unity – Able to act together

Then establish your pattern

Consider gatherings at the start of every school term.

Your key question

What could we do together in service to the mission God gave us among the young people of our city/town that we could not do apart?

Three vital areas for application

  1. Equipping – Empowering Youth to Share Their Faith (Conversational skills).
  2. Schools – Where the Mission Starts (Help youth unite to pray to do something).
  3. Events – Momentum Builders (Give youth events they can invite their friends to).

The fine print

  • It’s for food in a home (bacon and eggs / fish and chips) — not expensive cafe coffee and food because this fund is about enabling a CONTEXT.
  • It can support up to 2 of your meetings per year at this starting stage — while funds last.
  • It is for inter-denominational youth leaders’ meetings — not denominational ones, and not for training events.
  • The purpose: To encourage a HABIT of youth leader unity in every city and town — meeting with vision and purpose.
  • If you apply for too much: We don’t mind if you hold it over for a future meeting.

  • If you don’t meet: Return the funds via the Shining Lights Trust. AllTogether.co.nz/donate

  • Accountability: A note to confirm you have have met would be a courtesy. We might occasionally check — but we want this simple. Above is the purpose.
  • Note: Those funding this hold full discretion over whether or not they approve an application.
