Youth Encounter

I have seen no youth work like this anywhere in the UK. I’d like to see it replicated. This kind of work makes it clear that the future is something we can look forward to with confidence.

Group of Christians and Muslims

Youth Encounter is a Scripture Union project which exists to help Christian young people in Britain live out their faith amongst Muslims. This is done in two distinct ways:

Running Faith and Young People Events that bring together Christian and Muslim young people for dialogue (see Issues).
Providing training and resources to help churches equip Christian young people live out their faith confidently and humbly amongst their Muslim friends.

Youth Encounter also provides training for churches and Christian organisations who are working with Muslim young people.
