VISION…
Our vision is to see vibrant youth ministries throughout South
Africa united together for the cause of Christ.
MISSION…
Our mission is to equip the church to Win, Build, and Send
youth to fulfill the Great Commission.
Win, Build & Send is the three-part CAUSE of the Lord Jesus Christ…it is disciplemaking
through the power of the Holy Spirit. When Jesus called the first disciples,
he said, “Come, follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” (Mt. 4:19, NIV)
“[Come] follow me”- WIN, the call to be a follower of Jesus Christ
“I will make you”- BUILD, the call to become more like Jesus
“fishers of men” – SEND, the call to continue Jesus’ mission
Jesus’ words in the classic Great Commission passage (Mt. 28:19-20) reflect the
same win, build and send call. Jesus’ final words in Luke 24:49 and Acts 1:8 declare
the empowerment for the call in the promise of the Holy Spirit.
• To plan and promote Spiritual programs to save and conserve young people
for the Kingdom of God.
• Promote a clear and deep understanding of the Gospel of Jesus Christ among
young people.
• Encourage young people in the fulfillment of the Great Commission.
• Encourage young people to lead righteous lives as true disciples of Jesus
Christ.
• Promote true and meaningful fellowship among young people at all levels:
local, zonal, district, and national.
• Provide a platform for young people to develop and exercise their gifts and
talents within the Christian context.
• To help young people understand the relevance and implications of the
Gospel in their everyday lives within their communities.
• To create among the young people interest in and commitment to the
activities of the church.
We equip the Church to CONNECT youth with
• God- key to an authentic faith
• Family- key to a lived-out faith
• Church- key to enduring faith
• Christ’s cause- key to a meaningful and rewarding faith
We equip the Church to CONSTRUCT Biblical DISCIPLINES in students. Jesus taught
that disciples love God first and love others as themselves (Mt. 22:37, 39). We
teach five values of Jesus that characterize such love:
• Pray regularly (in the Spirit)
• Live the Word
• Tell the story
• Serve people
• Give generously
We equip the Church with ministries, resources, and events that CATALYZE the
cause of Jesus Christ.
Events include:
• National Youth Forum (every February)
o All District Youth Committees & Directors
o Includes National Youth Elections biannually
• Director’s Forum (every April/May)
• National Youth Summit (2nd weekend of every July)
o All Youth are invited to attend
o (Fine Arts) Every District should bring their best “tools” to share with
others in the area of drama, dance, worship, spoken word, poetry, art, etc.
• NYM Meeting (twice a year)
o Every April/May to finalize the Summit plans
o Every October/November to do a Strategic Year Plan for the next year
• PTH Missions Trip (every September)
• Districts
o Annual Youth Camp
o Fine Arts & Music Festival
o Youth Leadership Trainings
• Zonal
o Annual Rally (e.g. June 16th)
o Young Adult Meetings
• Local churches
o Weekly/monthly events
o Discipleship for young people
To be developed:
• National Youth Bible Quiz Finals
• National Young Adult Retreat (every other year)
The Church’s mandate to win, build, send in youth ministry is not just a call to
leaders for students. It is just as much a call for “students in ministry” (2 Cor. 5:18-
21). Youth ministry is just as much about what students do, as it is what others do
for youth. Therefore, the ministries, resources and events of NYM equip leaders of
youth as well as the youth themselves.
As IAG, we partner together to build healthy local churches who have healthy local
youth ministries who WIN. BUILD. & SEND.
National Youth Ministries (NYM) Support
How is the National Youth Ministries supported? Without finances the NYM
office would not be able to function. Every phone call, every rally attended, every
meeting, and every resource developed takes finances to make it happen. Without
the faithful support of churches and individuals, our department would not be able to
function. If you believe in the youth of the International Assemblies of God, please
show your support by contributing to the cause. Here are a few ways we believe this
to be possible:
1. District Youth Ministries
Every district’s youth ministry department should contribute R1000 each year
as a membership fee, and tithe 10% of all their income from camps, rallies,
fundraisers etc. to the National Youth Ministries.
2. Activity & Program Income
National Youth Ministries’ events and programs are expected to help
subsidize the youth department.
3. Resources
The income from the selling of books, Bibles, DVDs, and other resources
goes towards the purchase of more resources, the cost of printing, and
additional ministry expenses.
4. Fundraisers
T-Shirts, caps, backpacks, coffee mugs, umbrellas, pens, diaries, cool pins,
magnets, stickers, tuck shop items, and anything that would help finance the
department may be sold.
5. Church Support
Churches are also encouraged to support the National Youth Ministries with
monthly support. A support certificate can be made available.
