High School Youth Program
The name of the High School Ministry is called: Impumelelo Phambili which is
Zulu and means "Achieving Forward".
This ministry began February 2008 at the
Emthonjeni
Community Centre located in Zandspruit.
Currently we are running a
Kids Club that caters for the needs of children ages 6-13
(Grades 1 - 7) living in Zandspruit informal settlement. Over the past
several years, we have built into the lives of these children and then watched
them graduate out of the ministry when they reached Grade 8. It has been our
desire and burden to continue ministering to these students even as they
continue on in Grades
8-12 (14 to 19 years of age). It is at this stage in life that it is
critical to provide an environment where these high school students can
continue to be nurtured spiritually, assisted in their school studies, motivated
to make good life choices and decisions, and have a safe place to come and be
themselves, as we discuss issues that pertain to their world.
We also believe that at this age it is a good opportunity to expose the students
to serving opportunities within their own community and outside their community
in order to teach them how to give back to society and not just be on the
receiving end. We want to instill a sense of ownership, responsibility, and hope
in these up-and-coming young adults who are growing up in disadvantaged
circumstances.
Date and Time
Our ministry meets every Saturday from 9:30 - 12:00pm except during the school holidays.
What we do
Our Saturday morning program has a focus on spiritual discipleship. A typical Saturday morning begins with breakfast together, followed by worship, teaching from God’s Word, and small group discussion around the teaching topic that day. Within the calendar year, there will be outreach events, opportunities to serve the community, camp weekend, and special events.
Needs
- Volunteers - especially male leaders who would be positive role models
and help mentor and lead group discussion times.
- People who might have a job skill or trade they could teach to the
students.
- People who could assist with tutoring and homework help.
- Motivational Speakers who have risen out of their own circumstances.
- Someone to sponsor the cost of the food.
- Adopt a student program. Need a sponsor for each high school student to cover school fees, uniforms, and transportation cost to school.
- Golang bus or taxi to help in transporting the students for the
outreach events.
- Funds for a mission trip or camp weekend.
