The Global Youth Summit is a special time when young Anabaptists from the entire world come together. These days are a time where the Lord allows us to mutually bless each other, and to share news, experiences, and the struggles the we live in our different continents and countries, in order to enrich the faith of all.

Delegates at GYS have the role of representing their national churches and countries. Together we work hard to see where/the best ways to encourage young Anabaptists in the following years.

After GYS, the delegate’s role continues. They have the responsibility to share with their national church and young people what they have learned. This is very important to give continuity to the work and projects of YABs, which need the support and help of all young people in MWC.
