What is your passion for Youth Tour:
My passion for Youth Tour comes from my personal experience when I was in high school. I decided to take a step of faith and go on a youth tour the summer after my junior year. Being in a different country, experiencing another country’s culture, and seeing their passion for soccer made me realize the platform God has given us to use soccer to share his love and good news! I experienced the true joy of life and soccer that only God can provide, and I gave my life to Christ on my first Youth Tour in 2013. Now I feel called to help high schoolers find and experience the same joy that has changed my life forever.
