”I couldn’t have imagined what God had in store for me 6 years ago when I decided to follow God on this journey. I love being able to be a part of this special group of youth, and look forward to what God has in store for us in the future. Time and time again, I am asked why I do this. My answer is always the same, potential! It’s an amazing thing when our youth trusts God and starts using all of their potential.

Our motto is: Knowing God and making God known
