Prepare: Students are given the opportunity to share their testimony. Engage: Believing students are given the opportunity to invite their non-believing friends to hear about the HOPE of Christ. Follow Up Process: During Engage week, students are given the opportunity to respond to a gospel presentation where they can indicate a desire for another student to follow up with them. Often this leads to their attending a local youth ministry for the first time and getting connected to the local church for discipleship.
