“With such an army of workers as our youth, rightly trained, might furnish, how soon the message of a crucified, risen, and soon-coming Saviour might be carried to the whole world! How soon might the end come—and of suffering and sorrow and sin!” Ed 271.

The Youth Department works for the salvation of the youth in the church—by helping them receive a personal knowledge of Christ, and building noble, Christ-like characters—and persuade them to become actively engaged in giving the final message to this sin stricken world.

This Department collaborates with Units worldwide to achieve its goals. It coordinates youth events and opportunities for the youth to participate in evangelistic activities, prepares literary material for a youth audience, holds training seminars for Unit youth leaders, and works with young people on an individual basis.
