EVERY NUMBER IS A NAME - EVERY NAME IS A STORY - EVERY STORY MATTERS TO GOD
2023 has been an incredible year for Youth Alive Victoria that has seen us reach many thousands of teenagers through evangelistic events and also partner with Youth Ministries to see leaders trained and resourced.
Throughout the year, we have seen significant increase in engagement and continued effectiveness through our organisation. We are ecstatic to have seen our annual state rally Main Event grow to the point that in 2024 we are moving to a larger venue. We are also pleased to see strong growth across our Academy, YAYA & Undivided which is our Regional youth events.
We're so proud to have seen this ministry and each of the youth pastors and leaders around the State take a step forward toward reaching more young people across Victoria and enlarging their vision for the future.
​
As you read below, we pray that you'll be encouraged by all the wins we've seen in 2023 – This really has been our best year yet!
We’d like to thank our amazing volunteers and staff who contribute their time and skill, our financial supporters who have enabled so many lives to be reached, and pastors across the State who are investing in young people. Together we share a vision of reaching young people with the message of Jesus, and together we are laying the foundation for increasingly strong youth ministries across the State of Victoria for years to come.
