Mission
To provide a launching point for youth into a lifetime involvement of SERVING JESUS through missions and ministry by connecting them with the mission field of TODAY!
Vision
Our purpose is to CHALLENGE students, ages 10-20, to give their life for a CAUSE that is greater than anything they may have previously thought of or imagined. The CAUSE is the proclamation of the gospel of JESUS CHRIST to the whole world. We are intentionally seeking out students who are ready to go far beyond anything their iPhones, XBoxes, girlfriends, boyfriends, sports, clubs or even their college plans could ever offer them! The CHALLENGE is for students to live an Acts 1:8 lifestyle.
Plenary Speakers
Our opening event will take place on Friday night, with three additional events throughout the day on Saturday. You don’t want to miss a single minute since you will get to hear dynamic speakers, experience amazing worship, and be motivated by student testimonies.

Leng Halstead
Missionary, Child Evangelism Fellowship, Clark County
I was born in Singapore and trusted Jesus as Lord and Savior at age 12. I came from an idol worship background- I am a 1st generation Christian. I came to know Jesus at an after-school kids club- that’s why I am passionate about helping kids in schools to know Jesus. I came to America, CEF HQ, to receive training as a children’s director for my home church. I met my husband, Tracy, and got married in 1995 and have been serving together since then. We have 2 adult sons, both married. We are also first-time grandparents. I enjoy reading, music, and tea parties. I love to cook for people, too.
