Each year, Wesley Chapel has a vision conference to direct our mission focus. Read Proverbs 29:18-27. The King James version reads, “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” This year, our focus is GROWING YOUNG. Our mission is to make disciples for the transformation of the world. Our vision is to be rooted in the love of Christ and growing in grace. This year’s vision conference is designed to help us reach young people with the gospel of Jesus Christ. A survey from the National Association of Evangelicals found that 63% of individuals become a Christian between the ages of 4 and 14. The same survey also found that 34% of individuals become a Christian between the ages of 15 and 29. According to this study, 97% of individuals become Christians before the age of 30. The problem we want to avoid at Wesley Chapel is neglecting the importance of reaching this age group. That is why we are offering a church-wide vision conference for the purpose of preparing us for the mission. According to Barna research, there is an increase in young men ages 15-24 who are exploring the Christian faith. This is a hopeful shift for us today.

We are also offering a Winter One-Day Bible School for children aged 2 through 4th grade. I hope to see you there.

Holy God, you are the God of all people. We are encouraged that your Holy Spirit is stirring in the hearts of young people today. Equip me to be an instrument of your love with my words, my actions, and my "yes" to your mission. Amen.
