Amplify

Some time ago, I (Tabz) agreed to become a regional Youth Advocate for my mate Dan, the National Youth Director of HOPE Together. It means I get an early look in on loads of the great resources HOPE produce, almost always in partnership with a tonne of other great organisations too. Amplify is more than just a resource though, it’s a full year long experience with some of the best input you can get in the UK or beyond. Perfect for young people between 11-17, fits really nicely alongside the everyday life of a teenager (school, social life, etc.) Check it out:

Want a stress free way to help your youth ministry grow?!

Then why not let Amplify Young Evangelists Academy help you and your church!

Amplify is the nation’s national Young Evangelists’ Academy for 11-17s. We would love to serve your church and youth ministry by equipping your young people to reach their generation for Jesus! Giving your young people tools to reach out and help others to share their faith too. The corona-coaster isn’t stopping us raising up the next wave of evangelists! 

Here is a short video which explains Amplify: https://youtu.be/0EgvlPQ9PmY

The ministries behind Amplify include HOPE Together, The Message, Youth For Christ, Pais Movement, Church of England, Scripture Union, Alpha, Luis Palau, Redeemed Christian Church of God, Elim, Evangelical Alliance and a number of other partners. We have been dreaming and scheming together to see what would happen if we could raise up the next wave of evangelists in our nation. What if we find the next Billy Graham, Jackie Pullinger, or J John? The possibilities are endless: a new generation reaching their generation for Jesus, equipping the Church to reach this generation and equipping the next generation to reach the generations to come!

Amplify is for young people who feel called to be an evangelist, or those you see beginning to exercise the gift of evangelism. We are offering an opportunity for one or two of these young people from your church to join the four-part Amplify programme for a year from January 2022.

Four parts of Amplify online

  1. Gatherings: At the beginning of the year we’ll gather the whole group to begin to dream about what it means to reach a generation for Jesus. Throughout the year there are two residential events which are planned for 1st-3rd October 2021 and 18th-20th March 2022.
  2. Small groups: These will be put together based on age. They’ll meet online and will be facilitated by our small group leaders. These will follow the Advance Evangelist Group model (advancegroups.org).
  3. Specialist mentoring: Evangelism takes place in many different forms from platforms, on social media, through friendships and in many others ways. In Spring 2022 the young people will take part in online  ‘Specialist Mentoring’ sessions with evangelists from all sectors of society. These people are specialists in their field of evangelism.
  4. Ongoing platform for storytelling and testimony: There will be opportunities for these young people to share the stories of how they are reaching a generation for Jesus.
