Who
we are
Ripples International Youth Ministry was created with a vision of reaching
out to the youth spiritually and facilitating avenues for them to develop
the gifts and talents God has put in them. We realize that young people
have so much energy and are full of life, and it would be easy for them
to channel their energy, talents and gifts in the wrong direction.
RI therefore began a ministry program specifically for the youth. Our
youth ministry program was launched on November 24th 2007, with a concert
in Meru. We had students from schools, youth groups and children's homes
around Meru town who prepared a presentation in form of a dance or song,
poem or skit. The event was held in order to showcase young talent,
empower them to use their creativity, and challenge each other to develop
their talents. Overall the event was a great success and was the start
of our Youth Ministry
Programme.
Our desire and hope is to see Young people sold out for God in an era
where there is so much negative influence from the media, peer pressure
and the world as a whole. We hope to see young people actively involved
in their schools, churches and communities, bringing hope where there
is despair, encouragement where there is discouragement and showing
leadership by using their God given gifts and talents.
