“It is like a mustard seed, which, when sown upon the soil, though it is smaller than all the seeds that are upon the soil, yet when it is sown, it grows up and becomes larger than all the garden plants and forms large branches; so that the birds of the air can nest under its shade.” — Mark 4:31–32

Youth Evangelical Fellowship ni umunyamuryango wa World Olivet Assembly n'umunyamuryango mufatanyabikorwa wa World Evangelical Alliance.
Kuva ku mizi yayo y'ibanze mu murimo wa kampusi kugeza ku busabane mpuzamahanga bugera ku migabane, amateka ya YEF ni ubuhamya bw'ineza n'ukwizerwa kw'Imana.

Uko amashami ashingwa kandi akomezwa mu mahanga arenga 60, YEF ishaka koroza urubyiruko ruzaba gusa rubona ubutumwa bwiza ahubwo na rugahinduka abigishwa, abayobozi, n'abamisiyonari bazabugeza ku bandi.
Umunyeshuri wese ugeraho, ubwigisho bwa Bibiliya bwose butangiye, umuyobozi wese uzamuwe, umumisiyonari wese woherejwe, kampusi iyo ari yo yose ibanziriza abandi, n'igihugu cyose kigezweho, bihinduka igice gikurikiranye mu nkuru y'umurimo w'Imana ukorwa binyuze kuri YEF.
