“EVERY YOUNG PERSON IN AOTEAROA REACHED WITH THE MESSAGE OF JESUS.”

There is a rising generation passionate about Jesus and unashamed to represent Him with both their lips and lives. They are bringing the Good News to the ears of society once again.

“IT’S NOT THAT the YOUNG PEOPLE of new zealand HAVE HEARD THE THE GOSPEL AND REJECTED IT - IT’S THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD! if we don’t go, who will?”

— Luke Collis

Social media

Our world is changing - if we’re going to reach the masses we’ve got to get creative! We reach thousands of young people every year over social media by providing creative, engaging and quality content that communicates the message of Jesus in ways young people understand and connect with. We also use this avenue to encourage and train believing young people.

outreach events

If the church is going to reach this generation we must find ways to connect with young people. We partner with local church youth ministries to run small and large outreaches around the country reaching young people who otherwise may not set foot in a church.

Training

Young people often learn best by practice – this is the focus of our training. We run intensive training camps, produce online content and run training sessions focused on raising up young people to thrive in their walk with Jesus and become confident in outreach and evangelism. Our aim is to see young people find feet to their faith to see their community, city and nation reached with the message of Jesus.

In 2008 Luke felt the call of God into a wild, faith filled journey that led him into full-time evangelistic ministry. Ever since he’s been reaching youth and young adults with the message of Jesus. Luke believes that God can do powerful things through a young person who is completely devoted to Christ, and is committed to encouraging and equipping young people to represent Jesus well with their lips and lives. He lives in Hawkes Bay, New Zealand with his wife Jessica and four children; Liberty, Corban, Camille & Joshua.

Speaking the language of todays youth

The Gospel never changes but the way we communicate it needs to. We speak the language of todays youth using creative arts such as hiphop, music, drama, spoken word poetry, media, dance and more.
