Youth and Children
Embrace
Leadership International (E.L.I) has been at the forefront of fostering
spiritual growth and development among the youth and children through its
partnership with Community Bible
Study (CBS). This collaboration aims to
pass on the good news of the Word of God from one generation to another, ensuring
that the message
of hope and salvation continues to resonate within communities.
Recognizing the importance of engaging the youth and children in reading and
understanding the Bible, E.L.I has been diligent in rolling out the CBS program
to various communities across Kenya.
By focusing on Bible translation and dissemination, E.L.I has identified a crucial gap in spiritual
growth among the youth and children, prompting them to take
action and implement the CBS program.
In the year 2024,
E.L.I has made significant strides
in training Sunday
school teachers and youth leaders
in regions such as
Kilifi, Nairobi, Busia, Kakamega, and Siaya. These trainings have equipped
teachers with a structured Sunday school curriculum tailored for children,
as well as imparted knowledge
on child protection policies to ensure
the safety and well-
being of all participants. Through
the implementation of the CBS program, E.L.I has successfully engaged 16 communities, bringing on board 85 churches
and impacting over 6,000 Sunday school children and youths. The materials
provided by CBS have been instrumental in guiding teachers
and leaders in effectively conveying
the message of the Bible to the young
generation, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for the Word of
God.
