SHOOT FOR GREATER

Ministry Update

What a year! God has done so much this past year, and I can't wait to tell you all about it! There are so many testimonies of what He has been doing in our youth and all across the world. I feel so privileged to get to partner with Him and give my life unto this purpose. For those who are partnering with me already, I are so incredibly grateful-- you keep me going and I am honored to run together!

We started the year with a College campus leaders gathering, then touring the College campuses of America with the message of prayer, fasting, and awakening. We've held two schools, our first online school, internship, and our annual Nazarite Intensive as training programs in Colorado Springs with students from Princeton, USC, UCLA, UC Berkley, UCSD, Liberty, and more. We doubled our staff members. Our team went to the Middle East (location cannot be disclosed) for a 2 week prayer strike and evangelism in an unreached nation. Our team did online trainings for youth in Canada and Mexico. 2 international leaders from Mexico joined us for a semester, we trained them and sent them back. We held our annual national conference, with hundreds of leaders in Colorado fasting and praying for our nation. We led corporate prayer meetings every morning. We went and sent our team on weekend trips to 10 different regions training and equipping college students from the East to West coast. We trained and onboarded our staff members to launch our podcasts, YouTube series, and online series. Reached almost 4 million on TikTok with prayers and the gospel. We had 7 young men join us for an internship this fall, 6 of which are staying with us. (and 1 we are launching out as a campus missionary). We have the strongest strategic team with the Collegiate Day of Prayer yet! We've been to Kansas, New York, New Jersey, Texas, California, Virginia, Tenessee, Arizona, Florida, and more.

“My 15 year old friend was living in sin and complacency. He walked into a Contend gathering in TN and immediately started weeping under the presence of God! He got saved and gave His life to Jesus that night.” — TN STUDENT

Contend West & Contend East

In summer 2022, we took our Contend Conferences from Colorado Springs to two great regions of America: NYC and LA. Contending for breakthroughs in the East and West could mean breakthroughs for the whole nation. We are invited hundreds of young people from across the whole nation to gather at these two locations, seek God with prayer and fasting, sit under current revelation from esteemed teachers and prophetic voices, and expect breakthrough for America.

20 States + 80 Campuses

In 2021, our teams traveled to 80+ campuses in 20 states to spread the message of fasting and prayer until revival and missions. These tours included training events, discipleship opportunities, catalytic gatherings, united prayer, and a call for young people to pursue the purpose of God in their generation. We are looking forward to continuing to impact thousands of young people in college campuses all across America!

Ministry Training and Discipleship

In spring, summer, and fall of next year, we will be hosting three discipleship and training schools in Colorado Springs. Our Set Apart For Awakening School (SAFA) is the most intensive discipleship opportunity that we offer. Our students will be taught both in the classroom and through practical experience. They will be sent on tours on college campuses across America as well as international outreaches in the Middle East and Asia.
