Young Christians to Hit Essex with Message of Christ

Young Christians will descend on Essex this summer with the message of Jesus Christ as part of an outreach initiative from Viz-A-Viz Ministries.

The ministry, which works alongside churches and other Christian organisations in communicating the Gospel to the unchurched, is inviting young Christians between the ages of 15 and 21 to join its Summer Evangelism Teams in Essex for a week of outreach opportunities.

The SET programme includes training and preparation to help the participants harness their passion for Jesus into real outreach and give them the encouragement they need to share their faith with others.

Participants will be trained in creative ways to share Jesus, including working with children, drama and detached youth work.

They will then stay in churches around Essex where they will take part in children's holiday clubs, youth work events, open youth clubs and family fun days.

If you are between the ages of 15 and 21 and want to take part, the week costs £95 which includes all meals, accommodation, social events, travel to your mission venue, training and insurance.
