Go therefore and make Disciples... (Mt. 28:19-20)

Love God,
Love students
(Mk 12:30-32)

"We proclaim Him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom so that we may present everyone mature in Christ. To this end I labor, struggling with all His energy which so powerfully
works in me."
(Col 1:28-29)

Youthworker Journal
at a Special Student Rate

Youthworker Journal Student rate.  Because LCC has a youth ministry academic partnership with Youth Specialties, any student interested in receiving a year-long subscription (6 issues) to YouthWorker Journal for $19.95 ($39.95 reg – and that is what I have to pay for it!!!) may get this great offer by emailing me.  They will bill you.   I am sending in the final request for this school year. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

to the Youth Ministry Program Website of Lincoln Christian College.  We are committed to developing the next generation of Youth Ministers.  We feel that we have a well-developed and disciple-making strategy that will indeed raise up the "missionaries" to this global youth culture.  We are glad that you have found us.  If there is anything that we can do to help you become a student at LCC, prepare and equip you while you are a student, or partner with you in the church to have more effective youth and family ministries, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Blessings to you, Rondel
