Animated video to mobilise young people for mission
14 February 2017
Children and young people are being challenged to "go" as part of the Whole World Mobilising campaign through the recently launched Kingdom Builiding short film.
An animated video, which portrays various forms of Salvation Army ministry in the medium of LEGO®, has been launched to promote The Whole World Mobilising to children and young people.
The video encourages children and young people to participate in the Mobilise: Go Children and Youth weekend of 24-26 March 2017.
The weekend is intended to recognise and develop the role of children and young people in fulfilling Jesus’ Great Commission and will encourage young people-led mission activities around the world.
“This is an excellent opportunity to share the gospel and serve our communities in new and exciting ways,” said General André Cox, who will be in Reykjavík, Iceland, for the weekend. “I have often shared my dream, before taking up my role as General, which emphasises the importance of ‘an Army that values its youth where our young people feel that they have a voice’.
“Our young people are already mobilising in a mighty way for God! I emphasise Paul’s challenge to Timothy: “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity” (1 Timothy 4:12, New International Version).
“It doesn’t matter what kind of resources are available locally,” said Ester Ellen Nelson, Project Manager of The Whole World Mobilising. “Children and young people have a natural ability to make friends with their peers in a far less self-conscious way than many adults!
“The important thing is, as General William Booth said, to ‘do something’. When you’re ‘doing’, you are mobilising!”
