In a video taken from the 2012 Catholic Youth Ministry Training Convention, Randy Raus, President of Life Teen, shares the bigger vision of why we do youth ministry.

No matter what storms we encounter, when we and when a teen encounter Christ, it changes everything.

Meanwhile, let’s take a moment out of our busy summers to offer prayers for those many young people (and the adults with them) who are at camps, conferences, workcamps, and vacation bible schools this summer. May their encounters with Christ change everything for them this summer.
