As you read this, youth across America are preparing to return to the classroom. Some are already back. Teenagers are about to begin their new school year, stepping on the campus where they will learn new things, make new friends, and maybe hear the Gospel and experience the love of Jesus for the first time this year.
You can help make this happen!
Will You Join Us As We Pray During Footprints & Funds?
We are just a couple of weeks away from NNYM's FOOTPRINTS & FUNDS campaign. We are excited to join together with Christians across the country (and you!) on August 15, 16 & 17.
The time is now to be intentional in our prayers and presence on at least one campus during this important initiative. We challenge you to visit your own child's current or former school, a high school in your neighborhood, or a nearby detention center for youth in the justice system.
Schools Are the Frontlines in Our Mission to Reach Teenagers for Jesus
There are 67,000 junior and high schools and 1,200 juvenile detention facilities across the US, and this is where 81% of our teen population spends three-fourths of every year.
We believe the promise of Joshua 1:3, "I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses," and by faith set our feet in the places where our country's children spend so much of their time.
United in Prayer for Students Across America
So, as the school year begins, we're uniting in prayer and placing our footprints on campuses to prepare that ground for a new year of ministry. Our goal is to be physically present at 10% of campuses in the nation. Wherever you choose to go, we go together. Through uniting in prayer, we believe God will open doors to reach more young hearts for the kingdom.
Please come alongside our mission by choosing at least one campus in your community to visit and pray for students - we are committed to reaching as many as possible.
Investing in Student Ministry This School Year
Additionally, to help us fulfill this mission, please consider a faith-filled financial gift to help us reach more teenagers this year. Through your support, we connect, encourage and mentor youth leaders who will make a difference on that campus all year long. Each gift represents increased opportunities to step into the spaces where students are present.
Thank you for your prayerful consideration, and thank you for being our partner in this mission. We are so grateful for your generosity and encourage you to involve others as we unite for our nation's youth!
