Edge Clubs

We’re stepping into the next season with confidence, unity, and expectation.

Same gospel.
Same heart for the local church.
Same commitment to students.

But with language that better reflects the size, clarity, and urgency of the mission God has given us.

We can’t wait to invite you fully into what’s next.
Stay close. 🔥

Parents. Youth pastors. Students. Donors.

We’re realizing something important:
when everyone is moving in the same direction, clarity becomes kindness.

Clear language helps students explain who they are.
It helps churches understand how we serve them.
It helps supporters see exactly what they’re building into.

The mission hasn’t changed.
But how we talk about it is becoming clearer than ever.

If you give, serve, or pray with us—this matters to you.

Your generosity isn’t funding activity.
It’s fueling multiplication.

Every dollar helps move us toward a future where students don’t just know the gospel—they share it.
Where churches aren’t competing, but collaborating.
Where clarity replaces confusion.

Sometimes growth doesn’t mean doing more.
It means naming what’s already happening.

Youth pastors don’t need more to do.
They need clear, usable tools that fit what they’re already doing.

That’s why everything we create now funnels toward one goal:
helping youth pastors train students to live on mission where they already are.

Curriculum. Challenges. Tracking tools. Gospel conversation resources.

When focus increases, alignment follows.
And alignment deserves language that actually reflects it.

We’ve noticed something powerful happening with students lately.

They’re no longer asking,
“What event is next?”

They’re asking,
“Who can I reach?”

That shift—from attendee to missionary—changes everything.
Confidence. Courage. Ownership.

Words matter when identity changes.
And student identity is changing in a beautiful way.

Here’s the size of the vision God has placed in front of us:

1.16 million student missionaries
50 million peers reached
5 years

That’s not hype. That’s obedience at scale.

And the only way it happens is through the local church—youth pastors equipped, students trained, and parents cheering from the sidelines.

When the mission grows, sometimes the language around it needs to grow too.

Something has been stirring for a while now.

Over the past year, we’ve seen God clarify—not change—what we’re here to do.
Not programs for programs’ sake.
Not events that end when the lights go out.

But students trained and sent—into hallways, lunch tables, locker rooms, and friend groups—with the gospel of Jesus.

When the vision sharpens, everything else starts to align.
More on that soon. 👀

From our headquarters in Virginia to 13 other states, from 16 churches, from hundreds of brave students—

Thank you for praying.
Thank you for giving.
Thank you for believing that the gospel is still the power of God.

“The mystery… now revealed to his saints.” (Colossians 1:26)

And we’re just getting started. 👀🔥

Mission 1:26 reminded us of something powerful:

Students don’t need more hype.
They need clarity, courage, and opportunity.

When students are equipped and trusted with the gospel, they rise to the calling God has already placed on their lives.

This is why we do what we do.

Another youth pastor noted that since his students began the Mission 1:26 Challenge, "We have 7 kids wanting to be baptized.”

Praise God!

Not just conversations—but transformation.
Not just commitments—but lives marked by obedience.

The gospel isn’t staying hidden. It’s being revealed—and responded to.

Of the youth ministries involved in Mission 1:26, more than one pastor has commented that it's "...amazing watching (students) gain confidence.”

This is one of the quiet miracles of Mission 1:26.

Students discovering:
• I can do this
• God really will use me
• I don’t have to be afraid

Confidence rooted not in personality—but in the power of the gospel.

We started the month of January with Colossians 1:26 -
“...The mystery hidden for ages and generations but now revealed to his saints.” (ESV)

The challenge was for students to share Christ with their friends and follow up with those gospel conversations through invitations to church and fellowship.

So far...
Mission 1:26 has been incredible.

➡️ 800+ students
➡️ 14 states
➡️ 16 churches
➡️ Each student committing to share the gospel with 10 peers

This wasn’t a program // It was obedience.

And the gospel is being revealed—right now, through students.
