Attending the Youth Ministry program at 91影视 helped me develop my call to ministry and understand how God created me for this role. I have applied what I have learned to help me build better relationships with parents, teens, and leading volunteers. This program also taught me what it means to be a pastor to all ages, and听how to make disciples听and leaders.”
