KGF Young Warriors
Young Warriors fall under the umbrella of Keepers of God's Fortresses vision whose sole purpose is, "Engaging Heaven in Earthy Matters". In this project, children are trained and equipped through a 2 year course to stand in the gap worldwide as God representatives in matters of prayer and intercession for their families, schools and society.
There is a growing need of intercessors around the world and an even greater need for true ambassadors of Christ in society. Young Warriors exist to groom children to be genuine Christians and learn how to stand in the gap for the voiceless and oppressed. As scripture states, 'the prayers of the righteous availeth much', meaning even children are able to stand successfully in the gap for others in prayer.
Our aim is that when each child is done with the course he/she must be able to stand and possibly lead others in prayer. The child will also need to have an understanding of the importance of prayer and mature from being forced or obliged by a parent or guardians to pray

Target
Young Warriors work with youngsters between the age of 10-16 years. We believe that this age gap is critical as children are at the stage of accountability where they will be making decisions on whether to receive Christ or not.

Growth of a Young Warrior
After completing the first year course, children with a passion to grow more in their prayer life will meet on set days primarily dedicated to prayer. The prayer sessions will cover praying for families, churches and other areas that the Holy Spirit prompts us to focus on. Moreover, Keepers of God's Fortresses believe that for a child to grow in his/her life of prayer it is vital for the parents to be part of the training process. Corporate prayer or prayers of agreement are always vital in any society to ensure progress. At the Family Prayer Day families are equipped and taught the importance of praying together.
