About Us
New Life. Youth Newcastle
Our Story
New Life.Youth is a global Christian gospel-advancing ministry that provides evangelism and mission opportunities around the world for young people below thirty-five. NLY has a goal of mobilizing one million young people below 35 to take action to reach one billion unreached people with the gospel by the half of this century, particularly in Africa and Asia.
We believe that completing the task of the great commission requires that as young people, we take the mission personally, reach-out to other young Christians, equip and deploy them to every corner of the earth.
Whether it is by supporting missionaries on the field, speaking out for the persecuted church, building scalable technologies, training young leaders and evangelists, we are going to do all it takes to complete the mission in a single lifetime. Building a network of one million passionate and dedicated young Christians is critical to this work. We would pray, organize, mobilize, disciple, educate, advocate, equip and deploy every of these young Christians to disciple the next one hundred million and then to our one billion target.
New Life.Youth teams are all over the world- in China, UK, Nigeria, Indonesia and we are continue to expand. Our mission is to cover every nation on the planet by the finish line. We are fully funded by private donations, in-kind support of churches and christian organizations and the revenue we sustainably generate
New Life. Youth started out as DLBC Newcastle Youth Church as a G-12 group for young people aged 12-18 before being renamed in April, 2018. The group then metamorphosed into a global gospel advancing youth ministry. It organized its first Youth conference, Colour Weekend in 2016 before it was rebranded into Radiant Conference in 2018.

The Bible is not just a two-thousand years old text, but still fully relevant for life today and in the future.
