Lead Mission:
More than a lifetime of professional experience, wisdom and education in a very intensive program – offered to a select group at a university campus setting:
Participants learn in special one-on-one sessions, workshops, and talks by uniquely qualified leadership training staff; in a retreat-like setting on a major university campus.
They develop their own projects and work in team to present new ones. The event creates a perfect opportunity to work closely with experts from a wide range of civil society.
In a rural, private location, carefully selected youth leaders receive abundant opportunities for learning, sharing, networking and forming lasting friendships with likeminded individuals from around the world – those who share an interest in civil society, CCYI goals and initiatives, social entrepreneurship, justice, and creating a culture of peace.
Goals: this dynamic, comprehensive, and intensive training aspires to effectively prepare participants to become agents of change in their home communities. Focusing on the individual strengths and interests of the delegates, workshops and presentations are designed to boost organizational and individual leadership skills, while demonstrating to participants how to expand practical know-how and successfully rise to future challenges.
Objectives: during the course of the seminar, participants use their newly acquired skills and tools to create a working action plan for meeting an existing challenge in their home communities.
Sessions address areas such as:
»focusing interests and passions, to create action programs
»creating visions, missions and action plans
»starting a non-governmental organization;
»inspiring and mobilizing communities in grassroots action;

A new breed of youths the world has never seen before are rising from this continent beginning with Nigeria as the trigger of this maximum impact. With the tools of creativity, the African youth would restore the dignity of the continent of Africa. The harvest of Africa has never been more ripe.”
SCRIPTURAL FOUNDATION
“…………a great people and a strong: there hath never been the like, neither shall there be any more after it, even to the years of many generations. Joel 2: 2-12
And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: they shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and they shall be called, the repairer of the breach, the restorer of paths to dwell in. Isa 58:12.
And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolation of many generations. Isa 61: 4
And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the Lord’s. Obadiah 21.”
BACKGROUNG
The vision of the Center for Creative youth international was delivered via a revelation in the year 2001. It all began while on campus when I felt the unusual passion to reach out to fellow students with the gospel. Considering the campus as an intellectual environment, my soul went after students the regular fellowships termed “outcast”, either due to their dressing or way of life. I knew it would take a potent vision from God to effectively reach out. I engaged in a series of spiritual soul searching in search for the will of God. I spent many nights and days on several mountains in Bauchi state, searching and seeking the face of God. By the Spirit of God, I was led to the Living Faith Church, where I learnt to hear the voice of God. My passion to reach other youths grew stronger, and this led me to seek and obtain the anointing upon the man of God – Dr David Oyedepo. In an impartation service in 2001, as I approached the man of God to have hands laid on me, I desired every grace upon the man of God and I got it. I returned to school that year and Winners campus fellowship began on my campus. Within the same year, I was privileged by grace of election to pioneer a socio-spiritual youth organization known as Impact Makers to reach out to students not attending any fellowship as well as those of other faith. The organization also helped student develop their understanding of subjects ranging from relationship, leadership, entrepreneurship, attitude, character, and ethics and so on. In 2003, while on youth service in Imo State, I was privileged of God to pioneer the Winners Corpers fellowship. After my service year, I had a call to youth ministry which culminated in what is today the Center for Creative youth International global outreach ministry, CCYI. The ministry had its first seminar on the 22nd of January 2005 with the theme: Rising up to a new level. 2005 till date, the impact has spread to Lagos, Oyo, Ogun, Ekiti, Imo, Delta and Ondo State. Thousands of young people have at one time or the other been blessed by this ministry. Some of these youths are established pastors of major ministries, bankers, students and entrepreneurs. It is the will of God that we reach out to more students in all campuses.
