Editor’s Note: Marcia and I were privileged to lead the first two HOPE Youth Corps programs to Manila in 1994 and to Johannesburg in 1995. We prayed for years for something that would connect the growing number of older teens in our churches and God gave us HYC where the impact and relationships continue for life. Celebrate the first 20 years of HYC and do whatever is needed to participate. — Roger Lamb
For the past 20 years, young people from all over the kingdom have served the underprivileged through HOPE Youth Corps programs. They have traveled all around the world to serve in communities in need. Those young followers of Jesus have sacrificed their vacation time, their comfort, the familiarity of their home environment, in an effort to be more like Christ. Not only have they had an impact on the individuals and communities they have served, but their own lives have been changed. Many decided to live a life of service, and it transformed the way they viewed their walk with God. These young people went from being “leaders who serve” to becoming “servants who lead.” This video celebrates 20 years of service by the youth of our movement.
