Purpose & Me Christian Youth Outreach Programme

                                                            Introduction:
Purpose & Me Christian Youth Outreach Programme is a programme designed by Threshing Floor of Christ Ministries, Reg: 84-903 as part of their youth ministry outreach. To reach out to youth within disadvantaged areas struggling with issues of life, e.g. broken homes, abuse, drugs and alcohol, despair etc. We are not here to convert a person, that is God’s work. We just create a platform for young people to share their pain, give them hope, share the gospel with them and trust they will make a life changing choices.

Instead of being a blessing to the society, we find  that we are being distracted with various issues of life based mostly on past/present mistakes, inferiority complex, poverty, ignorance etc. hence, we have not been living up to God's expectation for our lives. We have been empowered with all it takes to be what God wants us to be, (Prov. 14:23). Beloved, you are designed and packaged for a lasting impact, arise and take charge to fulfill your purpose. Discover your potential and show forth the father's glory for this season.
You are God's beloved and He has called you His vessel. Join the gathering of the beloved today and make a lifetime impact to your world. Remember, do not follow where the path may lead, rather follow God and trust Him even if there is no sign of a path. You are designed to live and not to exist. Leave a trail behind.
See you at the top.
                                             Mission:
·       To raise a new generation of God’s youth, not infected by HIV, Unemployment or crime in Africa.
·       Youth living in God’s victory and prosperity not in Poverty.
·       Encouraging young people to dare to dream, despite their circumstances.
·       To mobilise young people to do community outreach programmes through prayer groups at schools, visiting hospitals, helping the poor and interacting with other fellow youth organisations.
                                                             Vision: 
·       To raise a society of young people who knows and understands their essence and purpose in life.
·       To create awareness for the potential and power God has given each individual.
·       Creating interaction and joining forces with other youth organizations locally and internationally.
·       To empower, inspire and most of all to bless every young person in Africa with God’s word.

2.    Sister Gal:
·       We also strongly believe in empowering young women, it’s usually them that have to bear the grudge by staying home in case of pregnancy, by quitting school in case of parental death.
·       If you empower a girl child, you have strengthened the community.
·       We don’t just believe in handing over food parcels, but if you inspire a person; you encourage them to stand on their own.
·       Some girls are already mothers, single parents and it’s very important to create platforms for mentorship for them e.g. woman in business or ministry to encourage them.
·       If we had food parcels, we will target mostly household will a girl child.
3.    After the Seminars:
·       We had a youth Community website called iminspired.co.za where people can send their concerns or be involved themselves with the programme.
·       It’s always good to know that you can also access the materials which were discussed at the seminar to encourage yourself or give a copy of an article to someone who needs it.
·       Unfortunately due to lack of funds, the site was shut down.
4.     Our Areas of Concerns:

We greatly enjoy what we are doing and we strongly believe that is what God has called us to do. To maintain the programme through out the year, we kindly need funding or any form of assistance.

Here are some of our current needs;
*    Marketing materials e.g. t-shirts (written Purpose & Me for proper identity), banners, pamphlets and website.
*    Transport or Transport Allowance to move from one community to the next
*    Catering e.g. food parcels during our seminars. It’s hard to concentrate on an empty stomach.

5.     Future Plans for the Programme:
*    To touch as many lives as possible of young people in SA and even outside the country.
*    Buy a land to build a youth Camp with proper facilities e.g. well trained youth counsellors, accommodations and activities.
*    Raising a new generation of God’s Youth in South Africa, who are making an impact in their society.

6.     Be Involved:
*    Remember you don’t have to leave you current ministry to be involved, you can give your time, ideas, prayers or sow your
           Seed in the outreach by helping with our current needs.
*    Please pray first and ask your partner, parents or heavenly father if you can be involved.
