We are inclined towards the development of the youths in various aspects; hence they are given opportunities to be part of the program design and execution of the events. This exposure of taking up challenging roles has enabled the youths to enhance their skills and bring the best out of them. The trustees made sure that the resource people who ministered to the youths are relatable and the best choice for our young people by analysing and evaluating their ministerial credibility and effectiveness. |

Free in Christ.’ We had guest speakers who are experts in various areas such as spirituality, psychology, counselling, career, and finance. The list of guest speakers: Pastor John Thomas, India Dr Paul Mathews, India Dr Christy Paul, India Dr Wessly Lukose, Senior Minister of Transformation Church, Rowley Regis, UK Pastor Blessen Mathew, Executive Pastor of New Life Church, Derby. Approx. 170 delegates attended this camp from various parts of UK and Ireland. (age group of 11–24-year-olds) We had special sessions on how people can grow in their Christian faith and Discipleship, build strong Mental Health, responsibly use social media, and maintain healthy Relationship. During the process of organising the Summer Camp, we have given opportunities for youths to develop their skills in singing, choreography, music, and video production, leading and organizing sessions. It enabled them to grow in their leadership and communication skills. It also provided opportunity to increase confidence in their ability and keep them accountable for the task entrusted to them. The leadership skills of many youths have been remarkably improved, and the charity’s activities have provided a stable growth in the development of the Leadership Skills of the young people. The KINLDE team members were confident in organising and designing various events. These opportunities improved their leadership and team building skills. This also encouraged the Trustees to promote few of them to Key Leadership (as Key Leaders) of the organization. The KINDLE mentoring opportunities for the youths aided in the development of responsible, mature, and proactive individuals. This has enabled them to cope well in various tasks in their Universities and Colleges. Through various activities of KINDLE, young people from various parts of the UK have benefitted to grow in their spiritual as well as personal life. KindleLife groups(for youngsters are meeting every month on Zoom which include the time of worship, game,and a talk |
