In brief.

Saba youth ministries is a ministry that is found in Kenya , Nyanza province, suba district Mbita division vision bared by  a couple (Paul and Erin) having a heart to evangelize and reach  youths ,widows ,orphans and other groups of people.

Mbita  division is mainly composed of the luo fishing community with vast natural resources but stricken by extreme cases of poverty  as a result of  HIV cases in  the community .these has left young women as widows and young children orphaned.

As a result of these there is high rate of school dropout due to inadequate finances which further has lead to unemployment among the youths and thus vices such as beach prostitution, drug abuses and early marriages are extreme along the beach. youths flock so much in the lake for fishing as the only way and chance to find there livelihood because of feeling inferior education wise. 

THE AIM OF THE SUBA YOUTH MINISTRY

2  Tackle together the aforementioned problems among the youths, widows, orphans from the book of 2^nd Tim 1,6( Paul’s statement to timothy) star up the gifting in you that you got through the laying of hands

The denomination that is true is one that cares for the widows and orphans.

Having realized the kind of life the widows along the lake are living ,some having HIV virus and that at times some are to be involved in prostitution with the fishermen in order to get some catch to sell, we felt it as suba youth ministry to be part of the solution to their problems. We put the widows into groups raise dairy goats then give them after training them on how to take good care of it. They use the milk for family issues and sell the rest to get money to buy other stuff that they don’t have. We see joy in the lives of the widows that are already in our program
