Our Mission
Prepare young people for service and leadership wherever God leads by equipping churches with training and programs.
Our vision
A world of young people committed to Jesus Christ transforming their families, churches, and communities.
The need and the challenge
- Young people, 17 years and younger, make up 1/3 of Latin America’s population. This presents a vast need and challenge, as well as opportunities, to communities, schools, churches, and parents because young people must face so many social, economic, and spiritual problems and decisions.
- Young people are the largest mission field. To minister to this important population sector, one need not go to a distant country. They are all around every church, wanting something to do and waiting to be reached.
- Churches need more ways of reaching young people. They need tools and assistance to increase their efforts and make a more meaningful impact in this age group.
- Parents face challenges in raising their children. Being a parent is more difficult than ever. Many parents are seeking help but don’t know where to look.
Icthus is helping churches meet these needs in Latin America and in Hispanic churches in the U.S. by providing ministry tools for children and youth.
How
Icthus equips churches to provide an attractive club-type ministry to children in need.
