Prepared by the YABs Committee for 16-23 June 2024

Theme:  

Mosaic: We are God’s handiwork 

Why this theme was chosen: 

This theme highlights our part in God’s greater purpose. Like pieces of tile, alone, we cannot see our value. Sometimes, we may think we are insignificant, but when God puts us together with the right people and places, we fit: we find our purpose and realize our value. 

Biblical text: 

Ephesians 2:8-10 
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith Ð and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God Ð not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. (NIV) 

Genesis 1:27 
So God created humans in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. (NRSV)

During this week, youth and young adult groups from all over the world can encourage each other and celebrate as one young adult Anabaptist community.

How can you participate?

Here are some suggestions!

Use and adapt the materials …

(Scripture, songs, discussion questions, prayer requests, testimonies, media, etc.) for use in your youth/young adult group that week. Watch for these materials on Facebook and our website.

Organize a YABs Fellowship Week event…

with other youth/young adult groups! Use the opportunity to enjoy fellowship with other Anabaptist communities. It doesn’t have to be complicated; just get together to worship, play, discuss, and pray Рin person or online.

Join the discussion…

in a private Facebook group or on Discord and meet other YABs from around the world. Share conversations on your different perspectives.

Share your story globally!

We want to share your testimony on the impact of participating in the Global Youth Summit, a story of how God is working in your local context, a meaningful worship song or a prayer or prayer request. Please send your song, prayer or story via social media messenger, Discord or email no later than end of July.

Send us feedback…

on YABs Fellowship Week after the event and submit input on future YABs projects.
