the opportunity
For more than five decades, we have been honored to witness thousands of young people make life-changing decisions at our events. These include:
First Time DecisionsRepentanceKingdom WorkVocational Ministry
The Plan
Under CIY’s new Follow Through Initiative, we are creating a holistic discipleship platform, a Learning Management System (LMS), that will support students after they make a decision at a CIY event. In our research, we have found that effective discipleship includes three areas of growth for young people:
- Resources: learning and growth tools about God and themselves
- Relationships: a support system to walk alongside them
- Repetition: meaningful practice to serve and lead
So we are building a platform that will house all three. Resourcing one decision type per year, starting with vocational ministry, we will load content into the app for both the student and the key adults in their lives.

The Invitation
Pray for those who have made decisions, that they would be affirmed and confirmed in their calling and receive the support they need to follow through.
Give financially to help build and launch a system that will resource 700,000+ life-changing decisions over the next 10 years
Use your influence to help shift the model of how churches measure success in youth ministry. More than just attendance, let’s track and celebrate student activation in two ways:
- SERVING: Track the number of students serving in your church each week.
- SENDING: Set a number of “Timothys” your church will send and support each year.
