Partner Ministries

1,000 Young Leaders seeks to partner with your church and raise up young leaders to be active participants in God’s mission. Together we will raise up the next generation of Christian leaders. We recognize that these young leaders have access to pockets and places where the Gospel is absent, that the church has been unable to reach.

So what exactly does a partner church do?

Identify young leaders with demonstrated capacity to lead others
Encourage and deploy them as everyday missionaries
Pray for the Spirit of God to work through the Word to change lives and redeem souls
Send them to start missional communities

We invite you to also consider sponsoring your young leaders. The cost is $250 a month for a team of two OR $200 a month for individuals.

We greatly appreciate the support of partner organizations and individuals in identifying young leaders. We hope that these relationships will encourage young leaders to live as everyday missionaries as they invest in the future of God’s church around the world. We are thankful also for partners who financially sponsor young leaders.
