Often our culture and even our churches fall into the trap of trying to win over youth by exciting events and catering to all their desires for fun. While meeting them in their desire for entertainment and connection is valuable, it is also vital for the church to challenge and empower them to serve. The Bible contains story after story of God encountering young people and giving them a significant role in His larger story. This bundle will help you inspire youth and parents to believe God desires to powerfully encounter youth and work through them from an early age.
