Our Mission Meet the Founder

Who We Are

Youth Evangelism Training (Y.E.T.) Compassion is a nonprofit ministry dedicated to serving South Sudanese communities in the U.S.A., South Sudan, and beyond. Our name reflects our core commitment to empowering the next generation through preparation grounded in Scripture. What began as grassroots mission work in 2006 was formalized in 2025 with state nonprofit registration in Nashville, Tennessee, followed by IRS-approved 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status in 2026 — building on nearly two decades of faithful service.

We stand at the intersection of faith, community, and transformation. Our young people carry stories shaped by resilience, displacement, and hope. By equipping them with education, practical skills, and spiritual grounding, we prepare them to lead with integrity and serve their communities — wherever they are.

Our Mission

Youth Evangelism Training (Y.E.T.) Compassion equips South Sudanese youth and families with faith-centered education, mentorship, and community support — preparing them to thrive and lead with integrity in the U.S.A., South Sudan, and beyond.

Our Vision

To raise a generation of South Sudanese youth grounded in biblical truth, equipped with knowledge and character, and committed to building stronger families, communities, and societies.

"Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it."

— Proverbs 22:6 (ESV)

What Guides Us

Five principles that shape every program, partnership, and decision.

Scriptural Foundation — Truth begins with the Word. All our work is grounded in biblical principles and the transformative power of the Gospel.

Empowerment Through Preparation — Skills precede impact. We equip youth with practical knowledge and mentorship before sending them into the field.

Community Accountability — No one advances alone. We operate with transparency and remain accountable to the communities we serve.

Operational Excellence — Competence honors calling. Excellence is not what we aspire to — it's what we deliver in every program and initiative.

Intergenerational Responsibility — Today's work builds tomorrow's leaders. We honor our heritage while building a transformative legacy for future generations.
