To nurture a vibrant community of young people aged 11–17, who are rooted in God’s Word, passionate about Christ, and equipped to lead with integrity, creativity, and purpose in every sphere of life.

We envision GDEP as a safe and Spirit-filled space where youths:

• Discover their God-given identity and purpose
• Grow in biblical truth, character, and confidence
• Are empowered to express their gifts through music, drama, media, leadership, and service
• Develop godly friendships and learn life skills that prepare them for adulthood
• Shine as light in their schools, families, and communities, standing out in a world of compromise

1. Godliness – Teaching holiness, prayer, and Bible-based living
2. Discipleship – Growing spiritually through mentoring and teaching
3. Empowerment – Developing talents, leadership skills, and creativity
4. Purpose – Helping each youth discover and walk in God’s plan
5. Service – Inspiring commitment to serve God, the church, and society

   Key Scripture Foundation:

“Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.”
— 1 Timothy 4:12 (NKJV)

• “I am GDEP — I belong to God’s Department.
• I am chosen, equipped, and empowered to make a difference.
• I walk in purpose, I shine with excellence, and I live for Jesus daily.
• I am not too young to lead — I am God’s light in my generation!”
