Christian Youth in Action®: A Summer Missions Opportunity for Teens

CYIA™ is a life-impacting program designed to teach teens how to present the Gospel clearly and counsel a child for salvation, as well as how to run an effective 5-Day Club® ministry. Teens learn how to give Bible lessons that communicate the Gospel, share real-life missionary stories, and teach memory verses. Additionally, CYIA students learn how to lead children in songs and games, plus how to use review games to reinforce teaching.

Teens then put that training to good use and teach 5-Day Club® throughout the Miami Valley. CYIA summer missionaries can also help share the Gospel at the local county fairs.

Even after the summer is complete, the rich training and experience will be useful for teaching children’s Sunday School, Good News Club®, and for personal witnessing.

CYIA™ applications are now open for Summer 2024.
