Youthworks College is privileged to host Perish Ntikitila this week, an Anglican youth minister and lecturer at Harare Theological College in Zimbabwe.

Perish's connection with Youthworks began last year, when College Principal Mike Dicker travelled to Harare and shared more about the wonderful work being done here. This week, Perish returned the visit, spending time experiencing Youthworks College. Next week he will continue to enjoy the breadth of Youthworks' ministries, including LIT (Leaders in Training).

It's a good reminder that the work of raising up young leaders for the church spans borders, and that there's much to learn from ministry partners around the world.

Please continue to pray for the youth and children of Zimbabwe, and the equipping of those who faithfully continue to share the gospel with them.

This week in Chapel, Connor shared from Psalm 131 as we continued our series through the Psalms of Ascent. Connor is a Youthworks College alum and now the youth pastor at Menai Anglican, and in this clip he reflects on how his time studying here has shaped how he thinks theologically about ministry to young people, then and now.

Two years ago, our CEO Craig Roberts had the privilege of meeting Archbishop Vincente Masosa at a GAFCON conference in Plano, Texas. Across the last year, Youthworks College Principal Mike Dicker has been training key youth leaders across the Anglican Church in Mozambique and Angola, in the hope and expectation that they'll go on to train others too.

Today Archbishop Vincente visited College and shared that since 2017, churches across Mozambique and Angola have multiplied through a concerted effort in church planting. With 60% of the population and their churches under the age of 25, there's real urgency to equip pastors and leaders who can disciple children and young people well in the gospel.

This week, we're praying alongside him:
🙏 For a youth conference happening in Angola
🙏 For those affected by ongoing Islamic terrorist attacks near Mozambique's northern borders, where people are being killed
🙏 For Archbishop Vincente himself, the youngest primate in the Anglican Communion, that he would serve in his role to the glory of the Lord

Will you join us in prayer 🙏

A rich week at Youthworks College. Open Day gave prospective students a real look at life on campus, and this week's chapel featured Stu Jansen, Youth Minister at St Matthews Anglican Manly sharing Psalm 130.

Stu also reflected on his own formation here: learning that engaged both the mind and the hands, theory tested in the practice of ministry.

It's a reminder of what we hope every student walks away with.

If you're weighing up where to train for ministry, our Info Night is a great place to start. Join us on Oct 19! Register 👉 youthworkscollege.edu.au/infonight26
