Help Save KIWI Teens <\/h2>\n

Give today and help bring the Scriptures to teenagers in New Zealand in a unique way.<\/p>\n

THE CAUSE<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s so difficult to understand why so many beautiful New Zealand teens find life so overwhelming with no way out, that they resort to taking their own life. Did you know that on average, three teenagers take their lives every week?<\/p>\n

How have we arrived at that terrible statistic? Why are the daily challenges teens face, seeming so insurmountable?<\/p>\n

And life\u2019s difficulties seem to magnify when God is missing from our lives. To combat this, there is nothing more important in life than being able to read Scripture on a daily basis. It helps us know God\u2019s purpose and identify our calling in life. And of course, it helps us cope with all we face.<\/p>\n

For that reason we are proud to announce the release of our recent youth-focussed publication, Identity: Identified<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is a modern translation of the Good News New Testament with many unique features that will be seen by many, especially grandparents, as a Godsend to help young people find some answers to the challenges they face and in doing so, identify their calling in life.<\/p>\n

Today we invite you to partner with us to help bring Identity:\u00a0Identified<\/em> to teens in New Zealand.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Identity: Identified<\/em>, which is a modern translation of the Good News New Testament, also contains 24 inserts that help our young people work through issues like Loneliness, Peer Pressure, Rejection, Anxiety, On-line bullying, body image issues, Sexual orientation, and even the question of “why am I here?”.<\/p>\n

There are also hundreds of key passages of Scripture highlighted throughout the New Testament that help encourage and reassure teenagers as they navigate life\u2019s challenges.<\/p>\n

This book also has over 30 QR codes included that link to video clips featuring a variety of people reflecting on challenges they faced and their favourite Scripture passage.<\/p>\n

And there\u2019s a downloadable App that links to videos, daily readings, and more.<\/p>\n

This is the perfect tool to help the younger generation to follow Jesus as they navigate the challenges of life and trust him as a true friend and companion.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\tIt would be wonderful if every teenager in the country had access to this production, which has rightly been subtitled Navigating the Challenges of Life!\t\t\t<\/p>\n
