Our Mission
In every Seventh-day Adventist church there are young people who desire something more than just a profession. They want to do something great for God but don’t know exactly what it is or how to accomplish it. In response to this longing, YDYD commits to be the spark The Holy Spirit uses to light the fire for service in these young people’s lives through preaching and witnessing. Furthermore, YDYD wants to guide those youth who are serious about devoting their lives to God’s service and working in the frontline for Christ.
Our Vision
Lighting the Fire for Service.
Our Story
Youth, Do You Dare? (YDYD) is a movement started in 2009 by two men, Don Ball and Brian Beavers, and was then turned over to six Hartland College students. It began simply as a series of encouraging and invigorating seminars for young people. But in the endeavor to train the youth for service, our methods changed from having the young people come to us to us going to them—inspiring and training them where they are, to be effective where they are. Thus we as youth are dedicated to share the fire for service God has lit within us with other young people looking to be part of God’s army. This we do by inspiration, equipment, and training.
