Ministry Description

We are excited to serve as full-time missionaries with Word of Life in the Dayton–Cincinnati, Ohio area. Our mission is to partner with local evangelical churches to build vibrant, disciple-making youth ministries that are rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Through coaching, training, and customizing resources, we equip youth leaders to develop strong leadership teams, create effective discipleship strategies, and reach students with the hope of the Gospel.

Our goal is to see every student, everywhere, hear the Gospel from a friend and grow in a life-changing relationship with Jesus. We seek to accomplish this goal through organizing evangelistic events—such as Fascar, Archery Tag, and Reverb, an all-night event—where fun activities are paired with clear Gospel presentations. We also help churches plan yearly ministry calendars, offer leadership training, and provide resources to help students confidently share their faith with their peers and grow in their relationship with Jesus.

We’re currently raising financial support with the goal of launching fully into the field by January 1st, 2026. Your partnership allows us to invest deeply in the next generation and empower churches across the region to reach youth for Christ. Together, we can make an eternal impact.
