The Nazarene Theological Seminary in Guatemala has a 10-course intensive program to earn a Certificate in Youth Ministry. The courses are taught once per month during one week. There is no other similar program in the MAC Central Field, so this will be the first time that our youth leaders will be able to receive formal training with the accreditation of the NTS. The funds from this project will be used for students who have limited resources, but have proven their call to ministering to young people in the local churches. Specifically, the funds will be used to purchase Youth Ministry Deacon Module books and printed materials, scholarships for 26 students, and the annual registration fee for 40 students. The funds will be a key element for the success of the program. The resources will be used on the implementation of the program will be an answer to the desire and prayers of many youth workers. This project will help and bless youth workers as they continue their training in Youth Ministry, will be a reference for future projects in the other fields on our region, and will also be a contextualized tool for helping youth leaders in their journey into Youth Ministry.
