 We are so excited to share with you how, starting last month, Ambridge Youth Ignite (AYI) has gone global! We are currently recruiting counselors for this summer's AYI Sports and Arts Camp. If you would like to spend a few weeks this summer serving the young people of this underprivileged town, and sharing the love of Jesus with them, please email us for more info and an application.
Also, AYI will be partnering with Epicenter, Rock the World's gap-year program beginning in June. If you're between the ages of 18-29, want to serve with AYI, want training in youth ministry, and want to spend a year discovering what God made you for, Epicenter is for you!

Full-circle with Ambridge Youth Ignite: Josh
By Eric Geisbert, Ambridge Youth Ignite Director
 During the week of Ambridge Youth Ignite's (AYI) Sports and Arts Camp at San Mateo Church in Lima, Peru, I thought and prayed the words "I never thought the camp would go this well," so may times! All week long I was in awe of the way God made a way for us to speak about Him through sports and arts in another culture. The youth received everything so well. They excelled at the arts portion of the camp and loved being exposed to new sports like American football. The week in Peru went better than any week I have had leading AYI Sports and Arts Camp in Ambridge. It was truly amazing and our team hopes that we were fire-starters that helped ignite a passion for Jesus and a new youth ministry at San Mateo Church.
 During our time in Peru two of our teammates got sick and had to miss part of camp. Due to that fact, the high-schooler on our team had the opportunity to step up big time! Josh, an Ambridge High School student, led one of the art classes - teaching the youth to play the "cajon" - also called the box drum in the US. Teaching through an interpreter can be a difficult task, and Josh was hesitant at first, but he pushed through and did an excellent job with the class. It was great to see him step into that role, especially because we as a team had been encouraging him to try out his leadership gifts.
 Josh has come full-circle with us! He came to camp starting a few years ago, and now he is part of our discipleship group, he helped lead the Sports & Arts camp in Ambridge last summer, and has even helped lead Sports & Arts camp as a missionary in Peru. Through youth like Josh and others, we are seeing our vision come to fruition. It's really happening! We at AYI are serving, discipling and sending Ambridge youth to serve, disciple and send others. Thank you for all your prayers and support, which are so crucial to this ministry. |
