YMS Changes

Hello faithful friends!


Youth Mission Solutions is going through a lot of changes currently. But, before I get to that…:)… here is what we’ve been up to lately.

As you know, our volunteer, Kathryn, has been busy with training our youth in theatre and the arts. She is really doing an awesome job, and it’s been a lot of fun for both us (the team) as well as the youth. During December, we made a movie to represent who we are as: YOUTH, SOUTH AFRICANS, AND PEOPLE AT REFILWE. Please watch our video. It’s very powerful!

The youth have made one other video, and will make two more in coming weeks, stay posted to see more of our creativity.

So, in other news, Youth Mission Solutions is losing two of their leaders: myself (Leah Bakers) and Piet Bakers. We have recently accepted a position at a new ministry called Africa Ablaze. We will be doing very similar work that we are doing now, only at a new location and adding a few extra projects. We will help with holiday camps, school ministry, and leadership development in youth. We are very excited about this new phase, but also very sad about leaving our life, friends, family, and precious youth whom we have invested so much.

Because of this, YMS will certainly cease to exist in the same fashion as before. If it continues on, it will only continue through the sports department and helping with homework after school.

It breaks our hearts to see this program discontinue the Saturday program, but we are trusting God that these youth will be looked after by others after we are gone. Please pray that God will bring others to invest of the lives of these youth!



Thanks for your prayers and support of YMS!!
