Austin Kendrick is not just your ordinary high school student. He is a fighter. He goes to High Tech High in one of the poorest areas of inner-city San Diego. And he is fighting for the eternal lives of his friends by leading a Bible Study on his campus.
No youth pastors are allowed to run a Christian Club at his school. Nate Landis of Urban Youth Collaborative has come alongside and empowered Austin to be the Student Minister on his campus. According to Nate, "Austin has been the one leading his friends and leading the Bible Study...He is much more effective and dangerous for the Kingdom than any youth pastor would be."
Check out this video and listen to Austin's story. If you are looking for other resources to empower students to be leaders on their campus this school year, check out our Youth Leader's University Training site on Campus Ministry at YLU Campus Ministry.
