TEAM YOUTH CHALLENGE

Grade 9-12 and Youth Leaders

Coming 10.22.2022

Do you not know? Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.
He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.
Even youths grow tired and weary, and young people stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;  they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint

Isaiah 40:28-31

If you are a Camp, a Youth related ministry or a ministry who wants to connect with youth we have a proposal for you. Get exposure to hundreds of youth, participate with them in activities, engage in a way that no symposium has ever done.

  • You get to interact with youth (attendees) and young adults (college and team leaders) all afternoon.
