El Sendero Youth Ministry

The El Sendero Youth Ministry is looking for people passionate for reaching and discipling young people. We are currently working in the city of Loja and seeking to extend our ministries to the rural part of the province. There is great spiritual need in the youth community of Loja, where less than 2 per cent of the population have a true relationship with Jesus. We are looking for people to help us reach, disciple and equip young people by: - Using sports such as soccer, table tennis, and camping. - Using media such photography, video, social media, and graphic design. - Using arts such as drama, painting, and music. - Using the English language as a way to connect with youth. - Helping us run youth camps that seek to reach and train young people. - Teaching the Bible and training future youth leaders of the church. If you are passionate or have any of these gifts, talents, or skills, please consider coming and joining our team! As a ministry, our desire is to see young people (ages 15-25) in Loja and around Ecuador equipped to make disciples of Jesus in their communities through bold, creative, and biblical ministries. We desire to see young people live passionately for Jesus, serve in Christ-centred churches, and create unity and fellowship between churches in gospel work.

Children and Youth

In Namibia, approximately 60 per cent of the population is under the age of 25. There are also considerable generational and cultural barriers to reach young people with the gospel. Through partnering with the local church, we desire to see this generation of children and youth become lifelong followers of Christ. Personnel opportunities include teaching in schools (both short-term and long-term), community development projects to help with skill development, and training local church children and youth workers.

Our vision is to see Christian leaders in Namibia use their knowledge, skills, and character to make disciples of Christ and help them grow in maturity. To accomplish this, we partner with formal theological training institutions, take informal training out to the local churches, and organise conferences for pastors and Christian leaders. Personnel needs include Bible college lecturers, local church trainers, and event organisers. Come join us!
