Definition of Mission

In simple terms, the overriding emphasis of my vision is that of being an agent for the furtherance of the Kingdom of God amongst young people and their communities. By this I do not mean that I necessarily work for young people to make a conscious decision to follow Jesus, rather I look to involve them practically in the growth of the Kingdom of God. I would hope to see this shown both through their living in the Kingdom themselves, and in learning to demonstrate it to their peers and communities.

Through methods which will change as appropriate to individual contexts, and in working in partnership with other Christian groups, other faith groups, and secular agencies, I will work with young people to bring them the good news that those who are excluded and unable to fit into society may find hope, that those who are oppressed in any way within home or society may find freedom, confidence and a voice of their own, and that those who can see no hope of change in their lives may receive new vision for a positive future.

In this way, I seek to work with young people and communities, in order that as many as possible may be drawn into the Kingdom of God, living in the wholeness and completeness of His Shalom.
