APRIL 22ND - 24TH, 2026
ACK ST. MARKS WESTLANDS
A Movement of Youth Workers in Africa, joining God is His work of
Drawing the Next Generation to Himself.
REFRESHING the Worker and Reaching Futures with the Gospel
Advance is a catalytic event to connect, equip, celebrate, inspire and serve churches, schoolteachers, leaders, organizations, pastors, & everyone in Africa who invests in the lives of the Next Generation. This gathering will rejuvenate you and your team & provide great networking / partnership opportunities.
Through plenary speakers, micro-events, roundtable discussions and breakout sessions we will be tackling the youth ministry complexities and exhaustion that Youth Workers experience that cannot be fixed with methods alone and seeking renewal through the Gospel.
We will be finding out who the Futures are (Gen Z and Emerging Generations etc ) What they are like, the distinctive characteristics of different generations, And, most importantly, how can they be reached with the gospel and what missional innovation to the next Generation looks like.
Youth workers are uninspired
Youth workers are not equipped
Youth workers are not served
Youth workers are not connected
