Baptists Challenged to Bring Gospel to Young People

Baptists from across Europe and beyond gathered in Prague earlier in the month to consider the challenge of how to bring the Gospel to young people who are far removed from the church.

This was the focus of a two week-long course held at Prague’s International Baptist Theological Seminary (IBTS) which drew youth pastors and theology students from across 11 countries.

The course was organised by the Youth Work Coordinator for the European Baptist Federation (EBF), Dr Jeff Carter, and the Atlantic Baptist Canada Director of Youth and Family Ministries, Dr Bruce Fawcett.

Course participants developed new strategies for their witness of Christ to young people through a series of lectures and discussions.
