Prepared by the YABs Committee for 14–21 June 2026
Theme:
Solidarity in action: from fellowship to impact
Why this theme was chosen:
Solidarity is not merely agreement. It is commitment. It is choosing to remain connected even when we are different so that our unity becomes visible, practical and transformative.
Fellowship creates belonging, encouragement, and shared joy. But fellowship is not meant to end with comfort. It is meant to lead to action. When young believers gather, pray and
grow together, something powerful happens.
Solidarity shifts us from simply meeting to working together for something greater. Our fellowship should move us outward, toward service, justice, evangelism and peacebuilding.
Biblical text:
Philippians 2:1–5
“…make my joy complete: be of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord
and of one mind…. Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus…” (NRSVUE)
James 2:17–18
“So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead. But someone will say, ‘You have faith, and I have works.’ Show me your faith apart from works, and I by my works will show you faith.”
Additional resources in this package:
- Testimonies
- Prayer requests
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!

(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.
