LifeLIFT
Connecting Students to God’s Heart for the Hurting
LifeLIFT exists to bring area youth groups together for a powerful day of music, media and teaching that will forever change their lives. Broken down into three unique sessions, this conference will fully engage students and will challenge them to become Life Lifters for the Kingdom.
Every day, students interact with other students who are hurting. The one in homeroom who’s dad is not around; the one on the football team who’s so deep into drugs he can’t dig out; the one in Biology who’s considering suicide . . .all around them there are hurting hearts. The LifeLIFT experience will challenge students to get their minds off of daily distractions and connect to God’s heart for the hurting people they encounter every day.
