Our 2012 theme is 2 Corinthians 4: 5-7: "For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake. For God, who said, 'Let light shine out of darkness,' made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God's glory displayed in the face of Christ. But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us."
Young-People in Mission of the Southeastern Jurisdiction is truly a moving ministry of the United Methodist Church. YIM is open to youth and young adults 12-30 years of age and their adult leaders. YIM creates an opportunity to explore mission and outreach in new and exciting ways; and helps youth and young adults to realize that mission is a way of life, not just a once a year trip.
Past mission projects include: The Boys and Girls Club, Children's Presbyterian Home, Home Repair at Cherokee, and Manna Food Bank. There are over 30 sites served.
Design Team for YIM 2012
