Youth Ministry in Canada takes on youth substance abuse. An online Rehab Advice Center reported that drug usage tends to start around the mid teen years. Pastor Keith Millership talks about his pasion for reaching these lost souls in his Youth Ministry for Canada.
A Man of God is Mobilized for Youth Ministry
“My name is Pastor Keith D Millership, I live in Ontario, Canada I am from this country and have live here my whole life. I work in ministry in this country doing outreach to people who are homeless, and also people with addictions, I focus on the youth that live in this country for it is them that is first to get into addiction and they carry it out for their whole lives if know one helps them. We use the teachings of Jesus Christ in the bible to help us work with these people, by setting up treatment programs for them.”
Keith goes onto share about his powerful story that brought him into Youth Ministry in Canada
“I became born again when I was 20 years old, I had a son , and his mother walked out on us both and I was drinknig a lot, my friend was taking me to church, and GOD talked to me, told me that he had work for me to do and I need to change my ways, GOD showed me who I was and what I did and what I can do with my life.”
Keith’s Ministry Dream was born from his emptiness and struggle. He speaks about his empathy for fellow Canadian youth that led him to pursue a Youth Ministry in Canada.
“My ministry dreams is what they have always been to reach out to people, to help people find GOD just like I did in my life. Before I had Christ I had nothing, now I may not have much but I am rich in Christ. So my biggest dreams are to just keep following and teaching the word of GOD.”
He goes on to talk about how a scholarship will equip him to be effective in his Youth Ministry in Canada.
“If I got CLI Scholarship it would help me in getting more knowledge of to help me in my dreams, to help me show people what they should know about Christ. Jesus died for us all and I want to do my best to let people know about that, so if i got it I would use it to help me in my works.”
Finally he talks about the best way to pray for him in his Youth Ministry in Canada.
“I think you can pray for me best for praying for my family it is not always easy for them as well it is not always easy for anyone, and pray for the people I talk to, but still pray for me in my works. “

Mission South Africa: South Africa student Rev. Thabo Keele ministers in a land where Christianity is the majority faith. In fact, mission South Africa is helped by the fact that the constitution of South Africa allows for the freedom of religion.
Mission South Africa is not easy. Rev. Keele writes, “This area was recently attacked by the satanic spirits. This attacks were challenges to the Body of Christ, which is the church. It is now difficult to preach the salvation gospel in this area. Some Church tents were burned to ashes and born again Christians were intimidated. This spiritual attack occurred after some key local pastors preached and performed miracles by healing people and driving out demons. Some in the community accused the born again Christian churches and their pastors of performing miracles using satanic powers.”
“This area is left with many people who don’t want to listen to the gospel that says Jesus is the Savior. My mission south Africa is now a big challenge to me to pursue Evangelism. I am on daily basis proclaiming the love of God and the power of Salvation, so that my area can be a better place once again.”
Mission South Africa: Movement of God
South Africa has been a place where Christianity is planted. Yet it has also been a place where Apartheid political policies separated races. In this backdrop, Rev Thabo Keele was born again. He writes, “I was born again in 1988 at Student Christian Movement camp, I received a pastoral calling between 1992 and 1993.”
Rev. Keele grew in his walk quickly. Soon he received a calling to ministry. “I received a calling of preaching the word through visions” God laid on his hear to “go and spread His word to the Nations. I established a church in Boipatong, Vanderbijlpark which was called HIGH PRAISE COVENANT.
“We are currently preaching gospel on the streets, since we do not have a place for worship. We were expelled from the public schools. My gift is a prophetic one. My dream is to make God known through Jesus Christ. “
Mission South Africa is challenging for many reasons. South Africa has been stricken by the effects of HIV spread. Both men and woman are affected and hope and despair is common. Another mission Rev. Keel is called to called to pursue to “heal and unite the broken families and to destroy the usage of drugs in the community by the young people.” South African Youth are slow to avoid practices that bring on HIV.

Mission South Africa: Importance of Ministry Training
Even though Rev. Keele is ordained he has never received needed ministry training. He writes, “with the scholarship which I will receive from CHRISTIAN LEADERS INSTITUTE I will be equipped through the online study. I am currently pastoring without a formal Theological education.”
Like many tens of thousands others in our world, Ministry training was not possible. “I could not attend any theological school to enables me to study for a theological diploma. We are stricken by severe poverty in my family. I have 5 children and I am married to one wife. With the money I earn from one of the factories here, I can only manage to provide food, clothes and rent for our shelter since we don’t have our own house.
I’m looking forward to completing my studies and achieving my theological diploma through CLI. I know once I can study my spiritual and ministry life will be equipped so I am able to preach the gospel in a good manner and equip the saints.
Christian Leaders Institute congratulates Rev. Thabo Koole for receiving his Certificate of Christian Basics. He now proceeds for further study at Christian Leaders Institute.

Youth Ministry: God is raising up local missionaries for mission America. Casey Biederman has finished her Christian Basics Certificate and now she is continuing her studies for more advance training at Christian Leaders Institute.
Youth Ministry is Her Next Step
Casey writes,
“I live in the United States, I want to reach out to the youth. Our future is in the children, I want to share my testimony with youth to let them know that everyone struggles and makes bad choices, but there is redemption in God’s glorious name.”
Before youth ministry captivated Casey’s passion, she needed to be reached for Christ. Casey tells her story.
“I moved into a duplex and getting to know my neighbor we would go out fishing, he would mention God and Jesus from time to time but I didn’t think or know anything about them at the time. He had invited me to his church. Hesitant to go he and a friend of his bribed me into going and that day the Holy Spirit over took me. I was praying in tongues and had no idea what had happened. Since that moment there was a change. I’ve held onto that relationship since the start.”
After that powerful beginning, youth ministry was placed on her heart. “I feel that I am being lead to be a worship leader for youth, to instruct them on how to worship, introduce new music and break the “stereotype” of a Christian.”
Casey and all those in youth ministry face many challenges in bringing the youth to Christ. George Barna states that “the research uncovered six significant themes why nearly three out of every five young Christians (59%) disconnect either permanently or for an extended period of time from church life after age 15.” Chick here for the story. Youth ministry needs trained leaders like Casey to carry the torch for Christ.
Casey’s vision goes even further then working in youth ministry, she says, “I also want to preach full time, specially traveling and sharing the good news to those that don’t have God’s word at an easy access of availability.”
When asked what a scholarship means to Casey, Casey writes, “A scholarship would benefit me in learning the skills and background of a “born and raised Christian.” I have the life experience and relationship but am lacking the Biblical theology and back ground of being raised in church. I can connect Biblical stories and scripture with current life situations.”
