ABOUT

What is the summit all about?

The Youth Leaders Summit 2019 is a 3-day national summit designed to help Christian youth better understand their purpose in life, identify their inherent qualities, get guidance on ministry and career options, and be equipped with relevant tools and resources to fulfil their Kingdom purpose.

How will the summit benefit the youth?

Apart from helping the youth identify their purpose, the summit is a great platform for them to network with fellow youth from all over the country. There will also be sessions and opportunities for the youth to pursue ministry and secular careers with our event partners.

How will the summit benefit mentors?

Mentors will not only benefit from having their youth empowered for leadership, but will also learn how to better engage and disciple their youth to become effective leaders. At the summit, mentors will be plugged into a national network of youth ministry workers and learn the best practices and global trends in youth ministry.

Mentors will also be equipped with complementary tools and resources from our event partners to help them lead their youth better.

Who are the youth that the summit is meant for?

The youth we’d like to see at the summit are students and working professionals who are between 15 and 25 years of age.

Who qualify as mentors?

Mentors are pastors, youth leaders, prayer group leaders or corporate fellowship leaders who are currently discipling youth in their church, fellowship, bible study or prayer group.

What is the focus of the summit?

The summit has a three-fold focus – potential, passion, and purpose – with the sessions for each day being structured around each theme. This focus is geared towards enabling the youth to discover their purpose, identify their passion and unleash their potential for greater Kingdom impact.

What should attendees expect at the summit?

The 3-day summit will be packed with a variety of keynote sessions, breakout sessions and small group discussions that will tie in with the theme of the day. Praise and worship sessions and cultural programs will enhance the communal experience.

Additionally, there will be Kingdom brands who will be offering services and resources at the summit. This mix of activities and participants will encourage varied interactions and collaborations with fellow participants from across the country.

How should the young attendees prepare for the summit?

Before attending the summit, we encourage our young attendees to take the SHAPE test and bring a printout of the results. The SHAPE test is a tool that will help the youth discover their purpose in life. At the summit, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the results and what they mean.
