The future of the church is bright.

You can’t see the excitement of the thousands of young people eagerly preparing for Lads to Leaders and Leadership Training for Christ events across the nation this spring and not believe that.

You can’t witness the passion of thousands of young people filling church vans and chartered buses on their way to Winterfest events in Arlington, Texas, and Gatlinburg, Tenn., and not believe that.

You can’t realize that the Almighty God sent his Son down to Earth and allowed him to die on a cross to save the world from its sins and not believe that.
