Champions of God

Jesus said in John 14:6:

"I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life. No one comes to The Father except through me."

Once a person has asked Jesus into their heart, they have now become a Christian, and every Christian has the responsibility to tell others the good news that will save other people's souls from going to Hell for all eternity. In addition, it is our goal to teach Christians to be laborers for the plentiful harvest. With that said, we have a strong desire to minister to the youth and have the youth ministering to their peers.

One of the main characteristics of being a Christian is to help one another and be there for each other. As you look around at the youth today in this world in general, we all need to be helping each other.

As a young person, I see the problems that youth face daily. It is time for all to rise up and help this generation.

I have been given a vision for God's people to establish a ministry for youth, reaching out to them through churches and television.

So many people want to do something for God but never quite get around to fulfilling their visions or dreams. God is not through with you or me, even when we make mistakes or have put off doing what our hearts tell us we should do.

In Acts 2:17, it says: "And it shall come to pass in the last days,' says God, 'that I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams." (That means all of us.) See how our future is connected to how the Family of God treats each other.

Jesus says in Luke 6:38, "Give, and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, shall men give unto your bosom. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return." (Notice Jesus first said give, and it will be given to you in return.) We are blessed to be a blessing to others. The more we bless, the more we are blessed. It's God's law of sowing and reaping.

We believe that this letter will be a point of contact for your prayers and financial support to enable this ministry to spread God's word. Please help us raise our youth up for God.

In His Services,

For youth interested in becoming a team member, these are our guidelines:

As a Champion of God Team Member, you're part of a team of remarkable young individuals who some may classify as "peculiar people". You're here because:

You are a born-again Christian.
You are willing to be a vessel that God would use.
You are genuinely warm and friendly, actively engaging and interacting with our youth.

It's very important that you know exactly what we, as a team do, at Champions of God.

We serve God best by fulfilling the responsibilities of Christians: being there for one another and sharing the word of God. This not only encourages each of us but also brings lost souls into the family of God, fostering stronger bonds within families.

Youth helping youth through youth ministry, witnessing new young people being born into the family of God. This not only transforms their lives but also creates eternal memories. Additionally, witnessing young Christians repent and get back on track is a source of great joy and encouragement.

At Champions of God, we consistently exceed the expectations of youth by offering distinctive Bible teachings alongside entertaining experiences. We pride ourselves on our genuinely friendly, caring team members who embody qualities such as patience, kindness, humility, respect, selflessness, forgiveness, honesty, and commitment.

Through Champions of God, we:

Serve others selflessly.
Work as a cohesive team, empowering one another.
Foster emotional connections with our youth.
Treat youth as valued members of our family.
Provide shared experiences that strengthen family bonds.
Continuously strive for improvement.
Adapt to the changing expectations of our youth.
Dedicate time to prayer and invest in the growth of other young people within God's family.

At Champions of God, we consider everyone as family. You'll notice that we refer to "Team Members" as family, as it is our objective to reach and teach young people so they will desire to enter the family of God. We strive to create an atmosphere where both family members and youth feel at home and welcomed during Champions of God sessions.

We firmly believe that every moment is significant, and each interaction with youth presents an opportunity to create a positive impact. We refer to these interactions as "moments of truth," where every great moment can lead to a new person being born again into the family of God. These experiences are cherished for all eternity, emphasizing the importance of making every moment count.

Time is the most valuable asset we possess on earth, and it cannot be purchased. Therefore, we encourage everyone to use their time wisely for the Kingdom of God.

Being part of a team entails each Team Member having a unique role that contributes to the collective effort. It necessitates the dedication and collaboration of our entire team. Therefore, be committed, prayerful, prepared, and willing to let God work through you as a vessel each day, creating memories that will resonate for eternity.

All actions should align with Christian values and ethics.

We partnered with the Carman ministry through the "Gold Record Club." Backstage on July 13th, 2007, Carman personally expressed gratitude for our faithful financial support, acknowledging our role in helping his ministry achieve over one million conversions to Christ. During our conversation, he expressed excitement about our ministry and its impact on youth.

Approximately two years later, Kirk Cameron endorsed our ministry pamphlets on "Youth Ministering to Youth."
