Team Building:

Team building is an important key for the development of youth ministry. CYAK recruits, trains, resources, networks, and synergizes youth workers and volunteers. Then we help with strategic planning.

Recruit: We recruit local volunteers to work with the kids in the village. We also recruit youth workers from outside the village.

Train/Resource: Volunteers who are well equipped make a significant difference in the lives of kids. Feeling unequipped is a major cause for burnout.

Network: To avoid feeling isolated and discouraged we create a sense of connection for youth workers and volunteers by networking at Bible Camp, regional youth events, and times of training.

Synergize: Connecting youth workers creates synergy. Synergy is working together so we can accomplish ministry that we couldn't do on our own.

Strategic Planning: CYAK helps youth workers and churches strategically plan for effectively reaching youth.

Quyana (thank you) CYAK Team!

Local churches, volunteers, donors, prayer supporters, and full time ministry workers all serve together to make this ministry possible.

We are a like a dog team. The work of Christ, our collective ministry, is the sled. No one is strong enough to pull alone, so we must work together to fly over the snow. We have to be united, for our every move affects one another. Sometimes the conditions in which we run are very cold. But our Musher is Good, and he knows our strengths and weakness even better than we do. He has equipped us to run hard in the cold weather and he will guide us home to safety. When we heed the voice that guides us, we fly over the tundra as one.
