We ♥ teenagers + We ♥ communities
Teenagers need to encounter Jesus outside their normal context to deepen their faith and broaden their perspectives. Plus, communities need to be valued—not as mere recipients but as partners who have stories worth sharing in.
When we bring the two together, incredible things happen.
