Youth Ministry International
Our MISSION is to EVANGELIZE and DISCIPLE the world’s youth through the LOCAL CHURCH by “Training the Trainers” of INDIGENOUS Youth Leaders.
Donations made to our year end giving support YMI’s General Fund.
Why We Exist
Over 90% of the world’s formally trained youth leaders are in the USA, ministering to only 2% of the world’s youth. YMI is dedicated to changing this statistic.
Our Guiding Principles
We want to be a part of a world wide movement committed to reaching the today’s youth for Christ by training youth leaders globally.
Our History
YMI was founded as God’s response to a pressing need recognized by Dr. Randy Smith as he ministered to youth workers in East Africa in 1988.
Ministry Spotlights
As YMI grows and develops we are moving more nationals into leadership roles
Despite an international pandemic, YMI continues to see growth in all of our programs
We did some rethinking and innovation that should serve YMI well for years to come.
