Los líderes de Albania abren el primer centro Youth Alive Hope en la ciudad de Korça en febrero del 2020. Están deseando tener programas regulares que beneficien a la jóvenes de la ciudad. Este centro Youth Alive proporcionará clases, cursos, reuniones de grupos de amistad y también oportunidades de culto y aprendizaje. Bien hecho Youth Alive Albania!

Hundreds of youth and young adults came to the University of Arusha, Tanzania, for a Youth Alive training and conference on December 2-8, 2019. They spent time getting to know each other through friendship groups, playing games and singing, as well learning together by listening to experts present on relevant issues for their physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. Hundreds committed themselves to sign the Youth Alive pledge and choose to be fully alive! 

On August 26-31, 2019 a Youth Alive Training and Conference came to Maun, Botswana.  Youth, health, and family Ministries leaders from various Countries joined youth leaders for the facilitator’s training and conference. Specialists presented topics on physical, mental, spiritual well-being. Teen and  young adult participants learned about how to establish healthy relationships without abuse; the risk of addictions such as substances, technology, and pornography; and the psychological, physiological, and spiritual symptoms that result from risky behaviors. Small groups, called “Friendship Groups,” were formed were youth and adults mentors discussed youth relevant topics, played games, worshipped together, served the community, and also listened and prayed for each other’s struggles. “This is the best program for our youth,” said pastor Gresham Mlilo, Union Youth Director from Zimbabwe. “Our young people are going through traumatic experiences and addictions. They need this Youth Alive program.” Let's keep the movement growing!

In Klaipeda, Lithuania, youth and adult mentors got together on August 18-25, 2019 for an unforgetable Youth Alive program. Besides the seminars, games, and deep conversations, they all served the community also. One of the Youth Alive friendship groups visited a retirement home and held a concert in the backyard, which warmed the hearts of the elderly residents. Other groups went to the city center offering to exchange apples for cigarettes and inviting people for a Breathe-Free stop smoking program. Young adult leader Danetta from Swansea church in Wales who attended the Lithuanian Youth Alive Facilitator training, shared “this YA event was transformational for me.” She returned to her home church and launched Youth Alive with the support of her pastor and two other leaders. The movement is growing!

Albania welcomed the Youth Alive training and conference in Tirana on August 13-25, 2019. “I liked everything; it was super fun. I learned about sexuality, depression, how to be happy, and how to choose the right things,” said Joana Hallkaj, a 13-year-old participant. Leo N. España, president of the Albanian Mission and spiritual leader of the Tirana Central Adventist church noted, “I enjoyed seeing our young people build bonds through their friendship groups and pray for each other.” “This is a great way to connect with the needs of youth,” said Juliana Ortolan, project leader in Korçë, Albania. In the months that followed, youth that were trained started meeting regularly through friendship groups. "Youth Alive has been an amazing experience for all the youth in Albania," said Euxhenia Bregasi, who became a youth alive youth facilitator. She added, "I am thankful to God for this program because it has blessed my own friends and loved ones who participated with me." 

En Klaipeda, Lituania, los mentores de jóvenes y adultos se reunieron del 18 al 25 de agosto del 2019, para un inolvidable programa de Youth Alive. Además de los seminarios, juegos y conversaciones profundas, todos ellos sirvieron a la comunidad también. Uno de los grupos de amistad de Youth Alive visitó una residencia de ancianos y celebró un concierto en el patio trasero, que calentó los corazones de los residentes ancianos. Otros grupos fueron al centro de la ciudad ofreciéndose a cambiar manzanas por cigarrillos e invitando a la gente a un programa para dejar de fumar sin respirar. La líder de jóvenes adultos, Danetta, de la iglesia de Swansea en Gales, que asistió al entrenamiento de Facilitador de Youth Alive de Lituania, compartió: "este evento de YA fue transformador para mí". Regresó a su iglesia y lanzó Youth Alive con el apoyo de su pastor y otros dos líderes. ¡El movimiento está creciendo!
