What is CYIA?

Christian Youth In Action (CYIA) is a program designed to train you and a team of other young people in effective and engaging ways methods to teach children about God. You will attend a one to two week training school 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 and a Bible verse as well as leading songs, games and a fun review time.

After this training, you will return to your local community and teach Good News Clubs or 5-Day Clubs at various locations with a team of other young people. These clubs take place out in the community with predominantly unsaved kids who don’t regularly attend church.

You will be able to take the light of the Gospel to them in their apartment complexes, day care centers, neighborhoods, schools and other community locations. Depending on the chapter you serve in, you will teach clubs from one to five weeks during the summer.

Watch the video below to see testimonies from youth who have attended the CYIA training and how it changed their lives.

So Jesus said to them again,
“Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.”
