Youth In Christ Africa - YICA

Youth In Christ Africa - YICA We are a Non-profit organization of Youth Started in Uganda in 2014 to empower and lead young people Our target is to make this love contagious. Mathew 22:36-40.

There is a saying that goes, “For every destination, usually there is at least one way”. But for the destination of eternity, there is strictly one way and that is through Christ Jesus our Lord and savior. Every project and program we invest in, the target is that all people we reach out to come to know about Christ Jesus, accept him and follow him with the purpose of investing their life for eter

nity. We believe that one day we shall all join the rest as Children of God and enjoy praises gloriously in heaven. Jesus Christ went to prepare a place for us but we have an obligation to accomplish so that we can attain eternal life with him. As YICA we do this through different programs based on the Christian faith and as a ministry this is our approach. Love
Helping others learn and live out Loving God with all their heart, mind and soul then loving their neighbor as self. As a ministry we utilize every opportunity to love others no matter the status. Letting them know that their life is of much worth and importance and that they have a father (God) the creator who loved them and still loves them dearly. We make sure we leave a smile on their faces. We do this for both believers and non-believers. We want this love of living in a community as all Children of God to become contagious and spread all around the world. If you are called to and have a heart for Loving in any way, maybe this is your right place to start or continue from. Evangelize
Here we go beyond church walls into the community to love others. This involves a combination of activities geared towards spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ to Nations. We go and share the good news of Jesus Christ with those hungry for him. Our teams use every opportunity of action or words to let people get to know about Christ Jesus. As YICA we are committed to seeking and bringing others into a saving relationship with Christ Jesus. After evangelizing we work towards availing a platform for Baptism of new converts. If you are called to and have a heart for Evangelism in any way, maybe this is your right place to start or continue from. Mathew 28:19

Disciple
This is the process of becoming like Christ. We achieve this through relevant, practical teaching and mentorship. Our overall aim in discipleship is to have trained disciples train disciples to train disciples. This in a continuous way focuses on people becoming friends with Jesus Christ, studying scriptures and personal transformation. We focus on helping believers to discover how to love God and how to love and serve others. If you are called to and have a heart for Discipleship in any way, maybe this is your right place to start or continue from. Mathew 28:20

Support
Supporting each other in all aspects of life within possible means. The major aspect we focus on is providing Spiritual support to all categories of people and this is spelt out in ALL our projects and programs. We also support others both (believers and non-believers) physically, economically, mentally and socially. We do this through the avenues of all our projects and programs. We go beyond boundaries to help others especially the less privileged and unreached persons. We want to be God’s vessel of help to these people physically and witness a progressive improvement in their welfare. We believe that with our help and support these people can climb to the next ladder of life. Mathew 25:35-36
If you are called to and have a heart for supporting in any way, maybe this is your right place to start or continue from. Serve
Christ Jesus tell us in Mark 9:35 that “whoever wants to be the first must take the last place and be the servant of everyone else. We don’t just want to be the first but we feel called to serve others by being the feet and hands of Christ Jesus. We use our different projects and programs to serve others. Mathew 23:11. If you are called to and have a heart for serving in any way, maybe this is your right place to start or continue from.

✨Back to School!✨

It’s been a little over a week since school resumed in Uganda. In Uganda, the new school year starts in February.

In the community we serve, most students walk to school daily. Some of them walk for as far as 7 kilometers daily to and from because of the distance between home and a nearby school. All the 36 children in our program walk to and from school daily. With tough roads to homes and villages and unaffordable boda or taxi transport by parents, walking on foot is the easier way to get to school.

Here at YICA, we seek to walk alongside the 36 families in Sironko district we serve by providing school supplies for the students, and providing oppertunities to match students with sponsors. As this school year resumes, we are looking for partners to join us as we journey with these families.

If you would love to know more about what sponsorship of a child in our program looks like you can send us a message or email us at [email protected].

🎄CHRISTMAS FOOD BASKET GIVE AWAY🎄

Each Christmas, we strive to give a basin filled with food and hygine essentials to each family in our YICA Child program! Its a small way to lessen the burdens of families during this time of year and for them to see the Lord’s provision.

Each food basket is $10. We need to make 36 baskets. Would you consider partnering with us to meet this need?

We believe that all people, especially the young people in leadership, have a chance to positively get transformed and do the same for their society.
James taught about letting your life be transformed first before transforming others. This was their second meeting in our high school outreach program.

Yesterday we had our first training meeting with 55 new student leaders at Townside High school in Mbale. We shared with the students about why leadership studying is important and helping them to understand that leaders are made and not necessarily born.

After the training some of the students asked questions about how to learn to influence others positively to cause a change in their school.

These student leaders are going to be a part of our program for one year and we are excited to be meeting with them every week!

Send us a message if you would like to partner or join us in reaching out to high schoolers!

✨Being A Life Long Learner✨

Here at YICA, we believe in the importance of learning. We cherish not only acedemic learning, but emotional, relational, and spiritual learning. Each program is geared to teach, and for beneficiaries to learn. From Parents’s Trainings, to High School Outreaches, we are focused on bringing tools that empower, inspire, and encourage locals.

We believe that education in all spheres of life erases ignorance, dependence and poverty.

If you would like to join us in partnering with our work, send us a dm or check out the links in our bio!

Our Youth Chat Care group continues to meet twice a month. We are reading the book of Ephesians and are having indepth discussions of the word. Our facilitator Kelsey is leading the small group and has spent time giving them historical context of the city of Ephesus, and has been leading the discussion points.

This last meeting focused on Ephesicans 1:1-14. We discussed what it means to be a child of God (v.5), what it means to be chosen by God (v.11), and how we should understand salvation (v.13-14).

The youth were very engaged in the discussions and even posed their own questions for the group.

Our next meeting is this Sunday! Please pray for our time of discussion and for each member to continue walking deeper in relationship with Jesus!
