Welcome to Youthfortruth.org
Youth For Truth International is a ministry dedicated to raising up the next generation to be radical disciples that disciple, using the mission field to open their hearts, thus fulfilling the Great Commission of Matthew 28:19-20.
Youth For Truth recognized the spiritual battle field that they are living in and how they are continually being bombarded by the things of this world.
Youth For Truth believes that, today, there are many students waiting for a chance to change their lives, waiting for a fresh awareness of the Lord's presence. They are yearning to be a generation found kneeling before God, humbly seeking Jesus Christ. And we believe that God will use this generation to take the Gospel to the ends of the earth.
On this site you will find information about Youth For Truth, becoming a missionary, useful resources to help you in the ministry, and new exciting ways to get involved with missions and evangelism.

Our Mission Statement is...
Our mission is to win a person to Jesus Christ, to disciple a person in Jesus Christ, and then to send a person for Jesus Christ.
Our Purpose & Objectives are...
We are to serve; not to come riding into town as though we have all the answers to people’s problems, but to have a heart to serve and learn from those who each other. Our purpose is to be an answer to the prayers of individuals, churches, and pastors with whom we will be working. We are here to help meet the needs of the body of Christ.
Our Methods are...
We are an evangelistic youth mission. We use drama, clowns, puppets and testimony to present the gospel. We also believe discipleship and mentoring other youth is a vital part of ministry.
Isaiah 6:8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" Then I said, "Here am I! Send me."
Philippians 3:7-8 But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ.
The Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God, that there is one God eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. In the deity of Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, and in His personal return in power and glory. That Christ is all in all, not just a religion or a Sunday tradition. That knowing Jesus is having a relationship with Him.
