SATURDAY CLUB
Our Saturday Club is designed to address the unique challenges faced by young males in society whilst providing them with a safe environment within which they can learn practical skills and have fun.
Over 10 sessions, 12 boys, referred by their school or from families we are working with, engage in learning new practical skills such as basic carpentry using APT, cooking, playing games and group discussions. Our aim is to keep them off the streets and immerse them in meaningful experiences that foster personal growth and spiritual development.
​
This program emphasises the importance of male mentorship in shaping identity during formative years. In many cultures, traditional masculinity is often misconstrued as being emotionally stoic or aggressive; however, Christian teachings advocate for compassion, humility, and service to others. By promoting these virtues among boys, the program aims to redefine masculinity positively and encourage young males to embrace emotional intelligence while developing healthy relationships with peers and family members.
​
In the broken world we live, young people need to hear the message of forgiveness, hope, meaning and purpose that will bring a shape to their lives, and a new relationship with God that will last for eternity. Sharing the good news of Jesus Christ is central to this club and staff lead the boys through the CY Christianity Explored course. This course is thoughtfully designed to help the boys explore who Jesus is, what He came to do, and how they can actively respond to His call in their lives.
​
In addition to this, each week, the boys engage in a group discussion which offers a safe space for them to share about their lives, experiences, and the challenges they face. Together, we respond to these issues through the wisdom found in scripture, helping them cultivate a new relationship with God through reading His word and prayer.
​
As a grand finale, we culminate our 10-week journey with an exciting swimming trip! The day is not only a celebration of their work and dedication but also an opportunity to bond and create lasting memories together.
​
This ministry is all about creating a meaningful and lasting impact in the lives of these young men. We believe that through love, guidance, and the message of Jesus, we can help shape their futures positively.
