CYIA
Christian Youth In Action® (CYIA™) is a program designed to train young people, ages 12 and up, in effective and engaging ways to teach children about God. You will attend a one week training school at Canandaigua Lake where you will learn to present the Gospel clearly on a child’s level, counsel a child for salvation, and lead a dynamic club ministry for kids. Components of this club include teaching a Bible lesson, a real-life missionary story, a Bible verse, songs, games, and a fun review time.
After this training, youth will return to their local community and teach clubs at various locations with a team of other young people. The goal is for these clubs to take place out in the community with predominantly unsaved kids who don’t regularly attend church. Youth will be able to take the light of the Gospel to children in the community in their apartment complexes, day care centers, neighborhoods, schools and other community locations over the course of the summer.
