Fix Your Eyes on Jesus, and Run.

Life is like a marathon – filled with highs and lows. This couldn’t be truer of youth ministers. Whether training or ministering, the leaders we work with get tired and often feel like quitting. Thus, our annual theme is Fix Your Eyes on Jesus, and Run, based on Hebrews 12:1-3. Sensing that many ministry leaders are weary and finding the race of faith difficult to traverse, the Holy Spirit has impressed upon us this rally cry.

This year we aim to encourage, equip, and empower youth ministry influencers (the highest-level youth leaders) to fix their eyes on Jesus, and run the race He has placed before them. We’ll do this by caring for, collaborating with, and creating customized solutions to help them start, strengthen, scale and sustain projects and programs for more youth to know Christ and to make Him known. Like an athletic coach, we’ll help them set realistic goals and paces. We’ll also cheer them on and celebrate what God does through them.

Let’s fix our eyes on Jesus, and run!

You can join us on the racecourse by becoming a prayer and giving partner.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
