DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT

• The 1000 Adventist Youth Missionary Volunteers Project is an inter-departmental initiative that will involve all departments and institutions within WAD.
• As some will be providing the means to carry out the mission, others will be doing the training, the deployment of young volunteers for service and some other departments the evaluation.

PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT

In response to the above challenges and call, the method to achieve mission enthusiasm and strategy is to mobilize 1000 Adventist Young Missionary Volunteers across West-Central Africa Division (WAD) to serve in the various churches, mission/conferences, union and institutions within WAD by 2025.

The primary goal of the 1000 Adventist Youth Missionary Volunteers is to train, send, and support 1000 missionaries by the end of year 2025. Inherent in this goal are three training objectives:

1. The first is to protect Adventist youth from evil influences of the world by instilling in them sound Christian principles during training and equip them for mission.
2. The second is to help finish the work of the gospel, particularly in uninterred territories of West-Central Africa Division of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
3. The third is to strengthen local churches through the volunteer missionary spirit of the missionaries.
