About YETI

Ok so i realise that i have not really described YETI very well so i shall tell you a bit more about it and why i would like to do it.

YETI stands for Youth and Evangelism Team Internship, the internship is a 2 year program with Youth With A Mission. All the internships involve some time together as an internship with training, development and teaching, some time serving the base, cleaning, cooking etc and some time focused on the youth and evangelism. So as for the Youth and evangelism part, the team focuses on reaching out to young people in this area. Some of the projects are street evangelism, going to glasgow train station to meet people, running the Scripture Union classes at schools (Ardrossan and Largs academy) and there is also the oppertunity to start things and try new ideas. Hopefully the young people we are in contact with will suggest things they would like to see happen and we may be able to accomodate some of what they see the need for.

My heart for this is to meet young people and help them to live out their full potential. I want to encourage them to seek more to life than drugs and alcohol. My main focus would be working with SU classes in schools and building relationships with the christian young people. My aim is to really encourage them and help them to be confident in who they are and in their relationship with God so that they will be able to show people that Christ lives in them. The hardest thing for teenage christians at school is not compromising their beliefs for their friends and not compromising friends for their beliefs. I want christians at school to be encouraged in their faith and in their friendships with non-christians. Through teenage years the people who influence you most are your friends, trust me i am a teenager!! So why is it that we are not supporting the christian teens that are trying to work out how to be a witness to their friends without seeming like a looser??!!??!! Well i always struggled with that at school and now i want to help those who are in the same situation, i want to see them Grow in relationship with God and in Confidence to Lead. I want to be a friend to them that they can come to when they struggle and when things are going great... basically i want to be available.

So yeah YETI is definatly a good oppertunity for all my excitement and passion to be put into because i can get lots of support and training as i learn how to do things effectively but also i dont have to spend ages learning about it before i do it. It is ideal, i get trained on the job so to speak. The drawback of course is the money situation, in order to do this i need people who believe in me and my vision for this place to support me monthly. It is a lot to ask i realise but it is something i believe would be worthwhile. The difficulty, i have found is that a lot of people believe that missionaries go to Africa, which i agree some do but i also think God wants people to serve him in Scotland and i want to be obedient to that call but i can't without people to support me financially and in prayer. Pleas think and pray about whether God would have you support me, if you would like to support or hear more about my dream please email me at ally_k_@hotmail.com
