teens!aktiv training seminars in Austria

The first JYC training course has been completed in Austria with 20 participants. Local CEF workers Silvia (teacher trainer), Matthias (national director) and Carmen (youth challenge worker) taught the course over 3 weekends.


Carmen writes: "The participants came from 3 countries to Salzburg: Italy, Austria and Germany. We were able to train 20 people who mainly work with church teenagers.
One group really has burden for the teenagers in their church because they saw many young people not coming to church any more. For them it was just the right time for a course like that! Matthias was invited to visit this church in January.
Others started to work with teenagers and were really thankful to get training for their ministry.
The youth workers were really motivated and that also motivated and blessed us as teachers. God really blessed this course.
We and the participants were really happy with the 3 weekend-system."
