2 WE ARE THE CRUSADERS Called, chosen and brought out. Sent into this world to be a Holy Nation, lives illuminated by the light and love of Jesus Christ. We come from different social backgrounds, countries, speak many languages, and experience different cultures. Our diversity does not divide us, however, but brings us together behind the power of One God who has a name above all others Jesus Christ. He is our life source. He is our passion. He is our purpose, and He is our love. And we will do anything and everything to reach this world with that Love. Youth President // Josh Wilson Youth Secretary // Nate Whitley Promotions Director // Wes Comer NYC Director // Darren Cooper ASSISTANT DIRECTORS Daniel Taylor Devin Akers Chad McQueen p.3-4 p.5-6 p.7 p.8 p.9 2

3 VISION 2016 JESUS SOULS GIVING In an anti-christ world we want to make our entire lives about Jesus Christ. We do not want Jesus just to be the center of our students lives, but we want Jesus to be everything in their lives. We want every Apostolic Crusader to wake up thinking about Jesus, go on their campus thinking about Jesus, and making their life ambitions all about Jesus. We are the people of HIS name! We want HIS passion and HIS Kingdom to live through us on a daily basis. Our Crusaders will be challenged in 2016 to be soul-winners, going to their communities with the lifesaving Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Apostolic Crusaders will be challenged to start P7 Clubs at their middle and high school campuses. We will challenge them to teach Bible studies on the new birth experience, attend an AYC USA mission, and to fulfill their call to go to the uttermost parts of the earth through international mission trips. The bottom line is that Jesus is coming back and we have to GO win souls with everything we have got! We will challenge our students to give their 10 percent tithe back to their congregation at home, and then inspire them to start giving to Overflow like never before. Overflow is our National Youth Department offering that helps us bring the gospel to the entire world. Our shift in giving more to Missions at home and abroad will make for an easy transition for our students to give to the Missions America and World Missions department as they grow older. Please help support Overflow and giving to the youth department within your district. 3

8 Deuteronomy 6 gives us clear instruction that the Word of God should be in our hearts, and to repeat them again and again talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. (Deut 6:7) Bible Quizzing gives students a structured curriculum for memorizing scripture, and a fun, competitive environment to test their knowledge and improve their memorization skills. Quizzing also keeps students engaged on the local church level, in Christian Education and school competition, and culminates each year in a National Bible Quizzing tournament. QUIZZING CHANGES was the last year for our National Championship to be held at NYC. National Championships are now held at General Ministry Conference. Quizzing tournaments will still be held at NYC, however, covering the first 1/3 of the material. The Christian Education Department is now using the same material so everyone is able to compete at all ALJC Quizzing events using the same material. The material can be found at An ALJC Bible Quizzing website will launch prior to or at National Youth Convention 2015 with updated quiz information, district tournament schedules, and updated ALJC BQ rules & regulations for the season.

10 Campus Ministry International (CMI) was formed to enable and encourage local churches to effectively reach out to the college and university students in their vicinities with the gospel of Jesus Christ. This is done by a variety of means, including motivating Districts and churches to establish and maintain campus evangelism, providing materials and training to aid in the formation of these campus ministries, acting as a clearinghouse for the gathering and distribution of new information, ideas, and materials, and establishing communication and cooperation between campus ministries in our fellowship. This ministry is the newest partnership between the Apostolic Crusaders and the United Pentecostal Church to reach students with the gospel. Through CMI, opportunities exist to turn college campuses into thriving missions fields, as well as opening up possibilities for those called to full-time campus ministry.
