Annual Report
Bring The Light
By God’s grace, we are seeing a movement of teens, leaders and multipliers charging into the darkness of the world, carrying the light of the Gospel.
“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.”
Ephesians 3:20-21
“I have the privilege to share with you our ministry impact report. It’s an opportunity for me to share how God showed up and showed off this past year.”

Gospel Advancing Impact
We’ve been training this Gospel Advancing ministry philosophy for 10 years. It’s a philosophy that focuses on evangelism and disciple multiplication to and through the next generation. We’ve seen an amazing response and heard extraordinary stories of life change and ministry transformation.
But we set out this past year to prove what we felt. We commissioned a research project, conducted by an independent party, to prove the efficacy of this Gospel Advancing ministry philosophy.
