More about programs
How he became a HY Worker:
David is experienced in working with children and youth in his home town – as a leisure-time-activity leader, teacher, instructor at outdoor schools and school adaptation retreats, or as a leader at summer mission camps.
His decision to become more of a HY Worker was prompted by the fact that as a teacher he did not have such a possibility to share what was on his mind with the children in the classroom. He perceives that as a HY Worker he can do more to shape the character of children, to talk openly about some of the challenges of today, to encourage children and young people and to give them hope.
He says of his HY ministry, “I bring a lot of interesting and thought-provoking information to the classroom, but I also wish for the pupils and the students to receive encouragement on how to apply specific ideas to practical life. I would like to see the individual programs actually lead to transformed lives, attitudes and values, and to present students with positive and healthy challenges through which they will be able to live meaningful lives.”
He adds: “I strive to practically live and share simple Christian attitudes and values that have the potential to transform lives.”
