TeenPact trains young people to be leaders who will impact the nation and world for Jesus Christ. This is a comprehensive leadership experience that challenges students to grow both personally and spiritually. During the week, students will enjoy meeting and interacting with other Christian young people and leaders from across their state. Students will come away from TeenPact with a realization of their spiritual capacity as young people and a desire to change America for Christ. I have the privilege of traveling to various states and participating in TeenPact classes. I have seen first hand the fruit of this ministry in the lives of students, including my two sons. I encourage you to make TeenPact part of your student’s homeschool calendar.
