Jr. High Summer Know Swear Service Project Registration Magazine

A Word From Christ In Youth Christ in Youth specializes in connecting young people with Jesus Christ. We believe that God is opening the door to some incredible opportunities for CIY to minister to this generation. It is our vision that one million teenagers will have a life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ through CIY during this decade, as they stand at the crossroads of their lives. A CIY conference or event is a special place where young people can come and experience God and his Word in a way that can transform their lives! We are committed to providing life changing experiences that will effect hundreds of thousands of teenagers during the next few years. Christ in Youth exist to connect young people with Jesus Christ. Our mission at Christ in Youth is dedicated to providing opportunities for young people to experience God and his Word in a way that transforms their lives! Our purpose and mission is accomplished through offering conferences, service projects, and mission trips for young people for young people as they stand at the crossroads of their lives; and by providing training and resources for the adults who work with them. We believe that the Bible is fully inspired Word of God. Faith in Jesus and obedience to his teachings are essential for salvation. Jesus is fully God. Jesus was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died a death of atonement on the cross, was bodily resurrected, and is coming again in judgment of all men. Heaven and hell are literal, as taught in the Bible. CIY is committed to the restoration of New Testament teaching, principles and practices.

What is Know Sweat Service Projects? Know Sweat Service Projects began in 1995 with a single week in Eminence, MO. At that time it was called Jr. High Service Projects and was a program designed only for middle school students. Many things have changed about the program since those early days but the core principles remain. Know Sweat has and always will be a program which enables students to put their faith in action. Our vision is to teach students about being a servant and helping them understand that service is a foundational part of being a Christian. We believe that no matter who you are or what you do with your life, you are called to serve as Christ would. When we humble ourselves and serve those around us we demonstrate the love of God in a practical way. Today Know Sweat has 16 weeks in 9 cities in the U.S. as well as one location in Mexico. Most weeks are open to both junior high and senior high students and provide a chance for your church to serve those in difficult positions. In an attempt to best serve those in need, we have developed these general guidelines for project selection: *Widows or widowers in need. Those who live on fixed incomes and have no outside help. *Elderly couples. Those ages 65 or older that live on fixed incomes and have no outside help. *People with disabilities that do not have access to outside government help. *Single parent families on fixed incomes. *Families with an income under $12,000 a year. These services are offered free of charge to the recipient with no strings attached. Our projects come from partnerships with community organizations, referrals and from the local churches. Each recipient goes through a simple interview process to ensure that the work and experience are as good as possible for each youth group. Know Sweat gives junior and senior high students an opportunity to take their love for Christ and translate it into love for a neighbor. CIY service projects are entry-level service trips that include tasks like repairing, painting and general cleaning up of property owned by the elderly, single parents, or low-income families. During the evening, students come together for a time of worship and teaching to biblically solidify the principles they practiced during the day. Individual youth groups are also given time to debrief. Know Sweat is an opportunity for students to give the gospel hands and feet of service.

Dates & Location

It's in areas like these that you will be making repairs to homes of the elderly and poor and working to meet the many needs within the city.

TESTIMONY

This is my first year of Know Sweat. We have painted, cleaned up the yard & cleared trash. I have learned to trust and love other people more. My view of service has changed by being with other people & helping them. I had thought about getting baptized before, but now I have talked with my youth minister, and now I will, because Jesus has become more real to me."-- Student,
