What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for individuals or teams of passionate young people who want to change the world. We are looking forward to receiving well-thought out ideas from people who are ready to implement these ministries in the world. We want people who can do a lot with a little. We’re not looking for people who are seeking to collect “experiences” with a beginning, middle and end. We want people who are committed to transforming the world by transforming communities through innovative ministry – and we want participants who are open to working with a team in a collaborative leadership style.

If you have visions of a new and innovative ministry that will change the world and has the capacity to continue to make an impact, then you may be what we’re looking for.
