VISION STATEMENT

Our vision is to ignite the fire of God on the youth of today, bring to fulfillment who they are in Christ Jesus and help them understand that nothing is impossible with God.

We are proclaiming the youth spiritual dry bones to come alive in Jesus Name! In Ezekiel 37:4-5 God commanded the prophet Ezekiel to speak these words “Then he said to me, "Prophesy to these bones and say to them, 'Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD! 5 This is what the Sovereign LORD says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life.”

Our young men and women need to know that they are not a mistake or an after thought. In Jeremiah 1:5 God said “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."

God is poised to show up and show off in the city of Clayton. I thank God that he sees favor over my wife & I to carry out his vision.

Ecclesiastes 11:9
Be happy, young man, while you are young, and let your heart give you joy in the days of your youth. Follow the ways of your heart and whatever your eyes see, but know that for all these things God will bring you to judgment

Isaiah 54:4
Do not be afraid; you will not suffer shame. Do not fear disgrace; you will not be humiliated. You will forget the shame of your youth and remember no more the reproach of your widowhood.
