TeenStreet
is an international congress for Christian teenagers aged 13 - 17. Presented
by OM International, it is our desire to motivate and develop teenagers
to have a closer friendship with Jesus and reflect him in their world.
Held each year in Germany, the event has grown immensely since it began 1993 with 56 people. Last year 4,000 teenagers and youth leaders came together from all around Europe with the topic "Contagious : Infect Your Sphere". 280 made the trip from Ireland, which was the biggest number yet.
While there are many youth events and youth camps available to teenagers, we do believe that TeenStreet is something different. The main focus is not on fun and sport but rather on teaching and training teenagers to discover God for themselves, to understand what He has intended them to be and to find support in their peers.
While individuals are most welcome, we prefer for youth groups to come together with their leaders. The teenagers experience the whole week as part of a small group of seven. We prefer for this group to be made of teenagers from one youth group with one of their own youth leaders (or someone from their church) leading their group. The teenagers profit from this "group experience" during the week, plus there is then accountability after TeenStreet during the following months at home.
