“What is a Youth Leader’s wildest dream? KICKOFF is awesome event where teens can confidently invite their friends, guaranteed that they will have the night of their lives combined with a punchy Gospel message and an opportunity to publicly accept Christ as their Lord and Saviour. KICKOFF is that dream come true. I still have to pinch myself every time I see many young people stream down from the stands to accept Christ and have their lives changed forever.”
Badil – Crest Community Baptist Church
“KICKOFF was an outstanding event that brought our youth together from churches and schools in Western Sydney, it was energetic, lively and most importantly had a clear Gospel message delivered.”
Simon – Eagle Vale Anglican Church
“Our daily bread of ministry to young people in Nyngan is nothing like KICKOFF. We are the foot soldiers – breaking into enemy territory bit-by-bit through relationship building, small-groups, daily service in our community – regularly witnessing to the power of Christ to change a life. We do the long hard labour. We break down enemy lines and with God’s grace open the doors. Then we call for a renewed focus and energy. We call in back-up. And with WOL it arrives like a warship or fighter jets- with explosive energy in a great program that offers a genuinely engaging and fun youth night with a fresh and determined proclamation of the Gospel. As Martin says: “We don’t cage the lion.” In a way, these WOL guys are the cheats. They come in and reap a harvest where they have not sown. But they know this – they know they are building with us on foundations laid before. Because they are partners – always respectful, always listening to our wisdom, always praying, always encouraging, always seeking to join alongside us in the battle. When I see guys who I have ministered to over years raise their hand to accept Jesus in a KICKOFF – well, that is exactly why this ministry is important and why we will continue to call in the WOL fighters.”
Richard – Nyngan Baptist Church
“We are ever so grateful for having the WOL team come to Casino for two KICKOFF events at Casino Christian School and a Battlezone event outside of school. WOL came with a great combination of innovative, action packed, fun, team activities and a good, clear presentation of the gospel. We even had students say “Yes” to Jesus for the first time! I praise God for the way He’s worked (and continues to work) in each one of the WOL team members. It is a pleasure and privilege to partner with WOL.”
Daniel – Casino Christian School
