Generation99

Over the past year and a half, God has been working on my heart regarding the way we do youth ministry in America. As I have surveyed what is being done and what's not being done. I have decided that I need to be part of the solution. SO here's what I personally am doing.

Generation99 is a super-intense student group. It’s like the navy seals of student groups. Everything about the group is over-the-top. The students who will be selected will go through a rigorous interview process. The goal is not necessarily to pick the students who were already on track but to find the students who had the most potential. We will pick 12 who we feel have potential to be great leaders. NOTE: Applications are due this Sunday August 1st at midnight :) email the church office for an application at office@lifequest.tv

For 99 days we will take this generation of students through 3 books (Mere Christianity – C. S. Lewis, Next Generation Leader – Andy Stanley, and DO Hard Things – Alex Y Brett Harris), they will also read the New Testament , participate in a 7-day fast together, recorded an audio blog, and serve over 200 hours of community service.

We starting the group as an experiment and we aren't sure where it will end up. I can't wait to meet the first group of Generation99 students on August 23th.
