Youth Discipleship and Immigrant Youth Outreach

With Germany located in the center of Europe and the expanding European Union, the capital city of Berlin plays a strategic role in the Eurasian continent and even world. This vibrant German city is home to 3.5 million people from over 180 nations and boasts a rich history, lively creative arts and fashion scene, academic depth and unique blend of old world and contemporary culture from around the globe.

However, this ethnic diversity creates a large displacement of youth. With one in four people having heritage outside of Germany, reaching 2nd and 3rd generation youth is a great challenge and is mostly overlooked by the church. Use your passion for youth and interest in youth culture to work with local churches that reach out to specific subcultures or multiethnic youth cultures. Goers will do this by building relationships with young people of bicultural or tricultural backgrounds (varying cultures, languages, educations, worldviews) and assisting in both church and community youth programs.
