Project 4:19

Welcome to the launch of Project 4:19, a bold growth initiative rooted in the words of Jesus: “Follow Me, and I will teach you to fish for people” (Matthew 4:19). This isn’t about chasing numbers—it’s about pursuing souls. While we know that the true measure of a youth ministry isn’t found in attendance alone, we also recognize this truth: you can’t minister to empty seats. Project 4:19 is a call to action, a rally cry to step into God’s business—the people business.

In this message, we’ll: Cast fresh vision for the future of youth ministry; Motivate and challenge students and leaders alike; and Equip your team to “fish for people” with intentionality and heart.

Whether your youth group is thriving or rebuilding, this night is designed to ignite passion, stir purpose, and multiply impact. Because when students catch the vision, they don’t just fill seats—they change lives.

Would you like help crafting a visual token or takeaway for students that ties into the “fishing for people” theme? Something symbolic they can carry or display to remind them of their calling?
