What is Nexus?

 N exus (To Connect) Vivus (Life) International (Around the world) began as an idea 35 years ago with a group of friends who began to informally communicate with one common purpose and dream about reaching out to young people around the world.  This dream has evolved through these 35 years and has taken the shape of a collection of friends committed to young people across the world who are our most treasured resource.  Nexus Vivus International currently represents people who live in twenty different nations who are actively involved in the lives of young people, and is growing.  We invest in the few to reach the many.  We believe that is what Jesus did, so that is what we are doing. It’s about the power of multiplication.

About Us

 T he United States contains 95% of the world’s youth ministry resources while 96% of the world’s youth population lies outside of the United States.  These resources include ministry training, mentorship, education and finances.  Research has shown that 85% of all people who put their faith in Jesus Christ do so during their adolescent stage of life.  Nexus International believes that reaching the adolescent age group is a critical task because they are the future and the next generation of leadership in the church.  It is an incredible task considering that the Church has so few resources dedicated to youth ministry abroad and Nexus International is committed to doing everything in its ability to resolving this inequity.
