Imagine What Young People Can Do by Casey Parnell
In 35 years the world will be a different place. The teenager that laughed behind you all the way through the movie National Treasure “Book of Secrets” and kicked your chair 26 times (not that you were counting) could very well be sitting in a congress chair in Washington D.C. IPods will probably be surgically implanted into our skin and we’ll have flying cars (environmentally friendly of course).

A new generation will be seated in the highest positions of power across the globe.  What kind of people will they be?

From Dec 29th – Jan 1st I had the privilege of attending the National Foursquare Next Gen Summit in Los Angeles, California. The theme was “Imagine”. With thousands of young people and pastors in attendance Christian leaders encouraged these young people to “Imagine completely changed people completely changing the world.” Throughout the conference they highlighted 3 international causes: human trafficking, aid for orphans, and fighting poverty. Many left the conference with a great sense of vision and a personal desire to change the world around them.

I am so excited about the opportunity we have in Oneighty at Westside to shape and mold the future by investing in young people.
We are committed to helping each student build a solid foundation in Christ and then dream BIG dreams for their future. Someday, maybe 35 years from now, students that we’ve taken the time for today will be changing our tomorrow in all areas of society for the cause of Christ. Just imagine, completely changed young people going out and changing their world.
