WELCOME TO IAM YOUTH ABLAZE
IAM Youth Ablaze, a ministry of International Accelerated Missions, is committed to mobilizing and discipling young adults of all nations to love Jesus and to fulfill the Great Commission. Established in 1999, IAM Youth Ablaze is a tool God has used mightily to impact the lives of many missionaries, adults and hundreds of orphaned children! So far, our trips have brought us to Mexico, India, Romania, Russia, Peru and Africa, as well as urban cities within the US. Partnering with national churches, we bring the Gospel to others using creative arts like VBS programs, camp programs, work projects and evangelistic outreaches. Your missionary experience will begin with a week (or weekend) Boot Camp Experience. This time of consecration and training is designed to make you a more effective missionary as God works in your heart and mind to equip you for His service. During your Boot Camp Experience you will not only begin establishing unity among team members, but will build some pretty cool friendships, too. All of this occurs as you learn the practical aspects of your camp or VBS program and the creative arts that will be used in our evangelistic outreaches. For trips involving work projects, you will also learn the skills required to accomplish those tasks. IAM Youth Ablaze firmly believes times of consecrating ourselves bring valuable rewards on the Mission field. You will have the awesome opportunity to develop intimacy with the Lord through quiet times, corporate worship, prayer and Godly teachings. One or two days of fasting and prayer is incorporated into the Boot Camp Experience as well. You will discover this one trip is not your only mission in life, and it doesn’t end when you step off the plane. You will begin to understand that your mission field is also at home, and the same principles you learned and applied on your trip can be used at home, too. The mission field is an excellent place for all of us to mature and grow in our faith. Once we realize God really can, and will, use us to minister to others it is life-changing. If you join us on a trip, you will not come back the same! God will leave an indelible mark on your heart and soul.

Refiner's Fire Ministry
Refiner's Fire Ministry began in 2008 as a partnership between Our Savior's Lutheran Middle School and IAM Youth Ablaze. Our purpose is to mobilize and equip students through prayer, worship and the Word, to love Jesus, and to fufill the Great Commission.
Beginning this year on October 7th, the goal for this ministry is to see every student encounter God more deeply through the Word and times of worship equipping them to minister to others. This ministry serves Middle School students from 6th to 8th grade and the team will gather after school every Wednesday.
Refiner's Fire Ministry ended our second year by mobilizing a team of student missionaries from Our Savior's Lutheran School into the Port of Albany joining with Salvation Army Organization and Reigning Life Family Outreach. For four days they shared the love of Christ through walking the children through the ROME VBS outreach. Several children came into the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Our team saw God answer our prayers quickly to minister to the hearts of the children of Albany.
