Youth Encounter - Quakes and Congress Incorporated in 1965, Youth Encounter, http://www.youthencounter.org, is an evangelical and confessional Christian organization that began by sending a music ministry team to Scandinavia. Rooted in the Christian Scriptures and shaped by the Lutheran tradition, Youth Encounter has now grown into a global ministry serving churches of many denominations in the United States and over 40 other countries. Annual weekend events, Quakes and Congresses, are scheduled throughout the country, featuring Christ-centered music, speakers, workshops, small groups and social activities. At these events, God builds caring Christian community among youth and adults, personal faith in Jesus Christ, and positive relationships among peers. Youth Quakes in WI Dells are for young people in grades 6-9. This program also includes leadership opportunities for Junior Guides (grades 10-12) to serve as positive role models for the group. Youth Congresses in Chicago Area are designed for young people in grades 9-12.
Every three years, the youth of the ELCA come together for a week of faith building, service, learning, and fellowship. When 36,000 youth and adults of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America gather together every three years, they are immersed in Bible study, worship, service, music, learning, play, prayer, the witness of faithful leaders from around the world, caring for others, and new friendships. It’s a time of change and growth because we gather in the presence of God's Spirit with others who journey with Jesus. In the community of the Gathering, and by the power of the Holy Spirit, youth experience a strengthening of faith that gives them hope, courage, and a new spirit that is carried into everyday life back home and in the world. They learn to recognize Jesus in everyday situations. They experience the call to: If it sounds like a lot to experience, it is. The ELCA Youth Gathering is always an immersion in and of faith. See you in New Orleans in 2009 for Jesus Justice Jazz! For info on volunteering
