Discipleship at The Walk Youth Group This semester, our focus has been on discipleship, following Jesus’ command to “go and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19).

How to Pray — Building a genuine relationship with God. 3. Dealing with People Who Hate You — Responding with love and grace. 4. The Happiness...

I have no clue what to say or do. I never have written to God, only talked through prayer. So here goes nothing. Today I said I wasn’t going to wash feet at all, but I did end up washing feet. I had an interaction where I was about to begin washing this man’s feet, and he comes in on his wheelchair. I shake his hand and we introduce ourselves. He says his name was Harold or something along that line, and I ask him his shoe size, and he says 13, but at that point we were out of everything...

Last Sunday at youth, we had the honor of baptizing 7 students! We are overjoyed that more than 170 people, including 101 students, witnessed this significant event. There is no greater joy than celebrating new life in Christ! It’s incredible to see how some of those baptized yesterday have journeyed from accepting Jesus as their Savior at Bigstuf and D-Now to publicly proclaiming their faith through baptism. This reflects the biblical pattern—belief in Jesus followed by baptism as an...

Last Sunday at youth was truly special memory for all. Last month, we had 233 individual students join us, and God continues to move in incredible ways. Our NYC mission team shared their amazing experiences, and we will also be celebrated with baptisms of some of our students!

Last week, we had the privilege of embarking on a mission trip to NYC, sharing the love of Jesus and evangelizing in Union Square, Madison Square Park, Washington Square Park, and Central Park. We spent hours on park benches, engaging with people from all walks of life. We prayed for Holocaust survivors, Muslims, agnostics, atheists, individuals battling mental illness, drug dealers, addicts, a deaf individual, soldiers in our military, and so many others. We even prayed in the name of Jesus...

While we were in Central Park, a young autistic man in his 20s approached us. His face was smeared with chocolate from eating ice cream. He began asking questions and engaging in conversation, with a smile so bright it was impossible not to be drawn in. At one point, he asked, “Do I have chocolate on my face?” He attempted to wipe it off, but it became clear he couldn’t do it alone. I asked, “Would you like some help?” and he nodded. Gently, I began wiping his mouth and hands...

Today in Union Square, NYC, we saw God move in ways only He could orchestrate. We met Greg, a pastor who has been evangelizing in the park for 13 years. He was painting a picture of his faith, and we prayed with him for his daughter, who’s starting college. Greg pointed us to Thomas, a man who hadn’t been to the park in a while but felt God calling him there to evangelize that day. Thomas was in shock, realizing the whole encounter was preordained by God. He said he wanted to...
