Empowering The Next Generation to
Make Disciples Who Make Disciples
Empower Preteens to Become Disciples Who Make Disciples
L.I.T. helps churches move beyond classroom-based ministry to life-on-life discipleship—equipping preteens to know Christ, serve through their spiritual gifts, share the Gospel, and make disciples.

What if preteens were equipped to do more than attend church?
Many churches work hard to teach children biblical truth. But what happens when children are also intentionally discipled, mentored, equipped to serve, and released to share their faith?
L.I.T. helps churches make that shift.
L.I.T. Four Part Ministry Model
Parents are equipped to take an active role in their preteens' spiritual growth.
Caring leaders/mentors build life-on-life relationships that encourage and guide each preteen toward becoming a disciple maker themselves.

Preteens discover their spiritual gifts and are equipped to serve and lead in the church.
Trained preteens put their faith into action by sharing the Gospel and being fully engaged in evangelistic missions.
THE RESULT:
Preteens grow from simply learning about Jesus to actively following Him and making disciples who make disciples.
Equipping a Generation. Multiplying the Gospel
For more than two decades, L.I.T. Ministries has been equipping the next generation to know Christ, live out their faith, and make disciples. What began as a vision to disciple preteens has grown into a multiplying movement, with
-
72+ discipleship resources published,
-
4,000+ preteens and students mobilized for missions,
-
1,600+ children coming to Christ through those mission efforts,
-
5,000+ leaders trained in 20+ countries worldwide through our Empowering The Next Generation Training.
Behind every number is a transformed life—and the potential for another generation to know Christ, follow Him, and make Him known.

I Prayed, and God Moved Powerfully Through Me!
“I was speaking today, and I was saying, ‘Ah, ah, what,’ and then later on, I surrendered. The Holy Spirit came over me, and I sat down my book and said what was in the book from memory. Then they all latched on.” (Josh, 12 years old)
Writing Sermons at Age 12
Delayna, now 17, leads worship for the student ministry on Sunday mornings and for L.I.T. at her church on Monday evenings. She started L.I.T. at Church Alive in the third grade. “I remember before our first street mission trip that I wrote so many sermons. I remember I was so eager to preach it. I was thinking, ‘Someone needs to hear this.’ I could see something there that I felt God was nudging me to do. I can look back now on how God was preparing me for today through L.I.T."

You Won't Believe It! Seven Kids Accepted Christ, and I Saw The Whole Thing
“Clint, seven children just gave their lives to Christ. The preteen L.I.T.s taught and gave an invitation. I listened in as the kids sat down and counseled each child. I talked with all of them afterward, and all of the kids knew exactly what they had done.” Read the full story...
