Rock the World Youth Mission Alliance

Rock the World Youth Mission Alliance is a Christian ministry that trains young people as leaders.

Among other programs, Rock the World currently runs the Josiah Project, a summer collegiate leadership initiative; re:mix, a Great Commission conference for young people in college and high school; Third Culture Kid events for teens whose parents serve as Christian missionaries; "Striking Fire", a basic seminar in how to launch and lead local church youth ministry; and "Next Step" retreats for kids in middle school through high school.

"JP" prepares students for a lifetime of leadership by giving them classroom training, hands-on experience, and the opportunity to launch new ministries.

Sarah Golder, Rock the World's Assistant Executive Director, currently serves in that role.

One of these launches was Ambridge Youth Ignite (AYI),[3] a holistic outreach to children and middle school youth in Rock the World's hometown of Ambridge, PA. AYI was created in 2004 by Josiah Project students Eric and Shea Rankin Geisbert who met while participating in Rock the World's Josiah Project.

[6] Rock the World’s trainees and graduates are spread out across most of the United States and several foreign countries, serving in churches, schools, businesses, and many other contexts.

Aside from founder Whis Hays, Rock the World’s longest-serving employees have been (in order of longevity) Meredith B., Steven Tighe, Carol Jaros, and Cynthia Seeliger Seifert.

Some graduates especially well known in student ministry circles include Holly Rankin Zaher, Aran Walter, Joel Tassie, Dixon Kinser, Dr. Steven Tighe and Dr. Jack Gabig.

Thousands of young people are touched by the ministries of Rock the World graduates, and hundreds decide to follow Jesus every year.
