Parents, we also believe it’s important for teenagers to have a broad view of what is going on in their world. It’s YQL’s belief that God can use teens while they’re young, and missions is no exception. We partner with Global Expeditions, a branch of Teen Mania Ministries, to send some of our young people on trips that will change their life. Their website contains information about their ministry, and answers questions that you may have. Visit their parents page now.
