Vista's Junior Youth Spiritual Empowerment Program empowers young people from age 12-15 to serve their communities, while enhancing their spiritual and intellectual capacities. There are multiple aspects of a junior youth group that contribute to moral and spiritual empowerment. One aspect of the group is to study text which includes stories of junior youth around the world which the members of a junior youth group can relate to and apply certain concepts to their own lives.

Devotional gathering gives junior youth another spiritual space

The experience of young people in a Vista, California, junior youth group animated by Martin Brown and Adib Towfiq has whetted their appetite for additional spiritual communion. Several regularly attend a devotional gathering in nearby Carlsbad hosted by Martin’s family.

“These junior youth are enthusiastic about attending our devotional gathering,” says Martin’s mom, Nasrin. “When they attend, I can see how happy they are and that makes me happy.”
