Sanctification Ubuntu Adult role modelling Alternative community Individualism Youth Journal Article The primary focus of the paper is to discuss the sanctification process among African youth through the lens of the Ubuntu principle. The study applies the missional hermeneutic approach to link the words of Paul in 1 Corinthians 11:1 “Follow my example as I follow the example of Christ” with adult role modelling of their faith journey to young people in and outside the church. The younger generation carries the hope of every society. Urbanization and modernity have bred individualism and therefore led to a breakdown in the African culture of togetherness where young people’s guidance and mentorship were done communally. Each gender was attended to by their seniors; a process that required quantity and quality time. Today’s parents are quite busy eking a living that youth are left to find their way around the often- murky waters of youthfulness. Studies show that many young adults find wrong role models, which end up in wrong behavior and relationships. By the time they consider salvation, they are bruised and in need of healing. The church mandate is to care for all members of the body by providing an alternative community where every person feels they belong. This study examines how the older generation can create an environment for the young people who not only need to hear what is taught, but also watch the teacher practice how to live out that Christian faith in the process of sanctification. Church youth workers will hopefully create ways and means for such conversations and processes in the church. This winning lifestyle is recommended to any devoted Christian everywhere. 2024-05-07T13:00:45Z 2024-05-07T13:00:45Z 2023-11 Article Murumba P. C. & Kitur C. C.
