About Youth for Christ Benin
Youth for Christ Benin’s desire and ministry challenge is to help each young person in Benin to be fully engaged for Christ from early age to adulthood. We wish to raise a new generation of faithful leaders, impacting churches, lives, communities and our nation.
For this purpose, each week we gather more than 2,000 youth in schools or universities for worship, training and empowerment. We are committed to train groups of parents, church leaders, and teachers in appropriate care for youth, and engage them in prayer. Moreover, we gather young professionals and civil servants to raise a generation of godly leaders like Daniel, who can reconcile our nation with God and introduce godly principles in governance.
Girls who are victims of violence are also targeted for reconciliation with God, their family, and new life perspective. For the past ten years, we have gathered young people each year to train them and engage them in community service for free medical care, evangelism, and social actions for the needy. We have planted more than 10 new churches in collaboration with local church leaders.
