FULCRUM
FULCRUM is a revamp of SOMY! We want to target at nurturing a generation of youth workers and leaders who are not just equipped but also connected to each other for support, advice, fellowship, and growth because they meet regularly. The FULCRUM track is designed for full-time youth workers. The general idea is to provide a safe haven for youth workers to share their lives, victories and struggles and also for them to be sharpened in ministry.
What is FULCRUM?
As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. (Proverbs 27:17) Our goal is to train youth workers to be architects in designing a biblical sustainable model of youth ministry relevant to their local church context. Due to the current Covid-19 situation, Fulcrum is currently meeting via Zoom!
