Well organized, the Summer Institute in Canada was rich in content and varied in activities.

by Ester Braive, National Coordinator, Belgium

Canada Youth for Christ’s Summer institute is a 2 week intensive training in Canada for staff from different YFC chapters. The training includes sessions on a wide range of topics including spiritual resilience, evangelism, and integrating faith, media & culture.

Held in late May at Redeemer University College in Ontario, Summer Institute 2017 provided attendees from a variety of nations and background a very rich time of getting to know one another:  Vladimir, from Moscow; Ashley, from Canada; Wael, from Lebanon;Pascal, from Tanzania; and Esther, from Belgium…All this in simplicity with much love and patience despite the language barrier, which was not always easy.

The event was a time of fun, joy and learning from one another. The second week, participants attended a program at the Redeemer University. Leaders with rich experience in full-time ministry taught about different themes concerning work in ministry at the youth level. Instructors shared testimonies, as well as numerous life and ministry experiences with the students.
