A great way for teenagers to belong in youth group and at church is to have opportunities to serve. Libby will help you think through what some of those opportunities can look like.

Teenagers are used to thinnking about what their lives might look like in the future, but how can we encourage them to consider global mission as they imagine? Linda will give some practical advice about how teens can be involved in mission now and even consider it for themselves.
