Youth perception on the effectiveness of the youth ministry at Destiny Worship Centre Lang'ata in their spiritual nurture

Abstract

The study explored the Youth perception on the effectiveness of the Youth Ministry at Destiny Worship Centre Church Langata. The data was collected through face- to -face semi-structured interviews with seven participants, and were recorded and transcribed. Observation was also done in two of the youth meetings and activities. The findings revealed that there was less effectiveness in the youth ministry at Destiny Worship Centre Langata, pointing to the activities, programmes and ways the youth ministry is conducted. The study further affirmed that youth need a variant of holistic approach and strategies to be able to attain spiritual growth and nurture in a given setting. A model of interrelationships between various activities and programs was advanced and recommendations made to the youth, the church, youth leaders, and other concerned persons on the best way to make the program effective to nurturing the youth in their spiritual life. This would lead the youth to evaluate their growth and invoke a closer relationship with God.
