SHINING HOPE to the next generation
We are the next generation and we are ready to RISE UP.
We are ready to stand together in truth. Encourage one another in love. We see the need around us worsening and it's time to help.
We want to see improved health and wellness for our friends, our family, and the young ones coming behind us. Young people have been victim to a world where technology and social norms are changing too fast for the necessary safety regulations and protections to keep up with. We need better support, more education and reignite community fellowship.
The Living Light Overcomes All Darkness.
I am the Light of the World. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life. - Jesus
Believe and Be Light
For at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light" - Jesus (Ephesians 5:8)
We are a church for passionate young people on the move, directly engaged in our community, passionate to live out Jesus' teachings and share God's love to those around us. Together, we shine a light of love and hope to everyone, especially those walking in darkness. We are dedicated to providing essential supplies to the community, education and support to youth, and ministries to strengthen faith & unlock God's calling for each individual.
Jesus says, “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me… Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’” - Matthew 25:35-40

Sex trafficking is a $150.2 billion illicit industry - the fastest growing crime, with the internet playing a crucial & explosive aid.
