“…for what good is it for man to gain the whole world yet forfeit his soul…”Mark 8:36 StAY Alive seeks to be an instrument of God to build the kingdom God based on God’s truth by enabling the people of God to live by God’s standard into the fullness of God to His glory.
and
"to proclaim the message of Christ through prayers, fellowship, mission and training enabling the youth to mature spiritually to fight as good soldiers of Christ and thus attain the crown when Christ returns."
This is the message that StAY Alive fellowship is ministering to the world. StAY Alive Fellowship exists as the youth arm of the Anglican Church of Kenya, St. Andrews Parish in Zimmerman, Nairobi, Kenya.
THE History / Background
The importance and place for youth in the Church has always been recognized. It can therefore be said that the St Andrews Youth group has been in existence since the inception of the St. Andrews Parish in 1982. However, StAY Alive as it now exists was conceived in the Year 2000. The need to set itself apart by creating an identity a vision and mission led to this move.
The foundation of StAY Alive is based on Faith and deep, consistent Prayer.
Identity: StAY Alive Fellowship means more than just St Andrews Youth Alive Fellowship. A closer look at the motto Get Alive – StAY Alive will give insight as to the identity of the group.
Getting alive is rising up with heads and shoulders high proclaiming boldly what we believe in, while Staying alive is doing so consistently and always improving.
The group runs various activities and programs in order to achieve its objectives. Being a member of this group has really helped me grow in my walk with God and with time, I was humbled to be elected as one of the committee members of this amazing fellowship group. The election came with the appointment to the office of Minister for Fundraising & Development. This ministry has me deal with raising funds to propel our various activities and programs one of them being the StAY Klean & StAY Alive Anti-Drugs & Substance Abuse Roadshow. This event is under the KATAA (Keeping Away Threatening Abuse & Addiction) program, which carries a message against drug abuse.
One of our various ways of raising funds for this event is organizing for walks, (dubbed Operation25 since its a 25km walk) where the members commit themselves into raising a specific amount of money per kilometer covered.
