Aaron Wells surveyed the youth landscape when planting Pure Life Church in rural Virginia – only 2% of over 10,000 teenagers connected to one of 30 local congregations. He felt compelled to shape a new destiny for the next generation. Through rallying youth groups and an innovative teen center, Aaron now counts 20% of youth engaged across the county.
Seeing momentum build, churches and businesses pitched in to raise $53,000 and enlist 20 volunteers to resource Pure Life’s budding youth outreach. Aaron dreams disciple-making DNA will saturate this community as teens grow in passion for Jesus and get equipped for life as church planters worldwide. He already witnesses the fruit as students lead their peers, share their fledgling faith and grow curiously toward Christ.
The chance to shape young disciple-makers who will reproduce across the globe links directly to our vision for multiplication movements. We celebrate the contagious spirit stirring in Virginia’s youth and Aaron’s vision to propel this energy outward for kingdom impact.
