Luke 19:10: For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.

My vision is related with the reason why I study at Sefovan. God, since a time ago, has put a big charge on my heart for the young people, especially those who ate in the puberty or pre-adolescence and the adolescence because I feel that lots of them, for many different reasons, are going away from churches (youth escape) and the remaining are going more and more to some values which are really away from the gospel ones, until the extreme that they have ideas and thoughts that express true intolerance to Christianity.
What I would like to do during the next four years is working with young people or teenagers and the objective would be to do something similar to what Youth For Christ (YFC) ministry does at Barcelona: meetings on working days in which the Bible is applied with evangelism and to the present to show the youth people the reality of the gospel, how to apply it in a practical way in their lives so, if they are Christian, they could grow up with it; and if they are not, they could know and meet Christ, and later be part of a Church.
YFC is generally separated from church, and with it they reach that young people that are not from churches and come there. By this, YFC breaks the Spanish general idea of church, and people have their first contact with a real and non-adulterated gospel, at the same time they are in an atmosphere not designed as a church, so they do not reject it from the very first moment. What is more: it makes that young people from different churches relate more, and also the leaders, or the families, as they can support the project; and finally implies the young people, as they see themselves as an active part of evangelism and makes them share the gospel to the others.
It is never pretended with this ministry, as neither Sefovan wants, to create a new denomination/church, but that every one of them belongs to their church and they may assist or not. The idea is to create an assembly point for both Christian and non-Christian people so they meet Jesus, in order to do the same with other non-Christian people. At the same time, if possible, further than the meetings alongside the week, it would be really important to do weekend retreats and summer camps or camps during Holy Week vacation, so they can live with other people and God's Word
That is my goal, looking further to the end of the fourth year, and can be summarised in this sentence: I want the youth and teenagers to find an evangelistic meeting place where they can grow spiritually out of church.

2. Beginning and evangelism
Obviously, to reach the maturity where YFC is, is not possible immediately as there is nothing right now, but as all the ministries that exist now we have to start by little things. At the moment, after visiting many churches, I will be serving at Aluche church, and specially at the youth group, at the same time that, if it begins, I will be helping in an evangelistic project giving free reinforcement classes to all age students (youth) of the neighbourhood where the church is.
Later on, my idea is teaching or showing the youth group some evangelism strategies and prepare open meetings or specific evangelistic meetings inside or outside the church place, so we can invite non-Christian friends so they can hear the gospel in many different ways. The objective will always be to share the gospel with people and share God's Word, and do this directly focused on young people.
My evangelism strategy will be to go on Mondays or Tuesdays at the evening with OnTheRedBox® ministry at Puerta del Sol, focusing on the ages which belong to pre-adolescence, adolescence and youth, adding the possible campaigns with Sefovan or Aluche church.
