The Win at Each Level

Lost youth are connected to believers, have heard the gospel and had the opportunity to embrace Jesus as Saviour and Lord.

Young believers are grounded in their faith, participate in activities that lead to spiritual growth and reflect the character of Jesus.

Growing believers are serving as workers among other believers and sharing Jesus with lost people.

Maturing believers are serving as shepherds both formally and informally among their peers.
