LEADING THE NEXT
2026-2030 ADMINISTRATION
For over 90 years, the IPYPU has served as the “birthing station” of leadership within the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World, Inc. It is one of the most valuable auxiliaries within the organization because the vitality of the organization is directly connected to the strength of the IPYPU. We are the strength of the church. It is our job to be the engine that moves this organization as a whole into the forefront to declare the Word of the Lord that souls may be won into the kingdom until His return.
The climate of our culture and the decline of spirituality of our generation requires the IPYPU to WORK vigorously to help youth understand their identity and purpose in Jesus Christ.
The success of the IPYPU is critical to the future of this organization. Therefore, it is important that we do everything we can as the leaders of this generation to make sure every aspect of operation, every program and every agenda is executed with excellence!
OUR GOALS
2026-2030 ADMINISTRATION
IGNITE
We boldly stand for Christ in a world that challenges our faith. With the power of the Holy Ghost, we face every obstacle knowing victory is already ours.
INFLUENCE
We walk with God daily, not just in moments of excitement but in steadfast devotion. Our faith is proven through a life of prayer, holiness, and endurance.
IMPACT
We are fully dedicated to the call of God and the mission of the IPYPU. Through every season, we remain faithful to the work and the Word.
THE WORK
Purpose becomes powerful when it is connected to action: reaching souls, serving communities, developing leaders, strengthening the Church, and representing Christ with authenticity. In this way, Igniting Purpose becomes the first movement of our vision - demonstrating the power of God, to the point where young lives: discover their call, are developed in identity and are compelled to make full proof of ministry!
When young believers leave an IPYPU experience, we want them to return to their norms as a
signature Godly presence. We want them to effectively engage the world around them, without compromise of convictions and understanding. Thus our constant goal is to cultivate leaders who can communicate across generations and cultures; build bridges, address challenges facing their communities - ultimately representing Christ with authenticity and Apostolic emphasis. When young people understand the influence God has entrusted to us, we move from simply being shaped by our environment to becoming intentional agents of Kingdom influence; bringing the message and character of Christ INTO the Culture and transforming the world around us.
The IPYPU understands that Kingdom Impact is not measured simply by how many people we gather, but by the lives transformed, leaders developed, and the extent to which we aid in the advancement of the Gospel message, in spaces yet untouched. We are well-able to fulfill our personal goals and desires, while being conduits of the Apostolic message and Pentecostal Power, anywhere life takes us. And among the tenets of our vision, is the responsibility of producing another generation who recognizes that their gifts, voices, resources, and influence are instruments in the hands of God, to make a lasting impact on the world.
