Join a Worldwide Read-a-thon of the Youth Guide Ahead of September Changes 

The church’s For the Strength of Youth Instagram account (formerly called Strive to Be) will be hosting a worldwide reading experience of the new guide beginning Sunday, May 3.

Youth, parents, and leaders are invited to participate by reading one chapter of the new guide a week.

The For the Strength of Youth account will be making weekly posts with reading invitations, insights, and testimonies from other youth and application ideas to accompany the reading experience.
