OUR DESIRE IS TO SEE YOUNG ADULTS TRANSFORMED INTO

THE CHRISTIAN LEADERS OF TOMORROW.

““We are offering students an undistracted year of growth, exploration, and direction in a Biblical setting. This is accomplished through discipleship, travel, college classes, and biblical learning. We are building foundations that will stand the test of time for our students’ lives. Once the foundations are set, we begin to see incredible growth that cannot be experienced in a traditional college setting.””
— Josh Bialik (PYB Director)

// TEAM AFRICA It’s our first day at Selfridge and we have been busy doing work projects for the church here! From cleaning up the yard and organizing donations to prepping the floor for tile and tiling. Pray for our team as we begin a week of serving the community here and don’t forget to follow our daily journey on the insta story!
// TEAM ASIA The team has finished their inner city adventure & are now safely back on campus! Over the last days they unplugged & focused on all that they were learning & experiencing. From seeing what it looks & feels like to live in poverty, to helping serve at a free health clinic where 300 people were able to receive care —each person was deeply impacted! And we can’t wait to share more stories of what God did! Keep an eye out for our blog this coming week! #packyourbags #pybteamasia #innercityministry #CityonaHill #serve #experience #citylife #chicago #milwaukee #growth #team #family #Godisgood
// TEAM ASIA The last 2 days have been spent with City on a Hill in the city of Milwaukee. From serving at a local ministry that serves food to those in need, raking leaves through neighborhoods, & even going door to door sharing COAH opportunities & praying with those who needed it. Pray for us as we will now be entering a focused time of learning & experiencing poverty. #pybteamasia #serve #innercity #ministry #family #experiencelife #serveothers

TEAM ASIA || The Harvest Festival was a hit! Zip lining, archery, tomahawk throwing — it was a great time getting to have fun with those in the community! And after we led the church service this morning, we headed home with a detour to lovely Mount Rushmore (even if the fog was blocking our view!). Proud of this team & we are excited to share more stories in the weeks to come! #pybteamasia #harvestfestival #handsandfeet #serve #go #learn #zipline #archery #kidsministry #makingmemories #havingfun #fall #pumpkinpatch
TEAM AFRICA || In the last few days here in Milwaukee we unplugged from social media and learned about poverty and Gods heart for injustice and His people. It’s our final day here and we had the privilege of volunteering at Soles For Jesus, a ministry that donates shoes to those in need in Africa. Pray for us as we drive back to ND!
