Young Life Africa

A Movement of God.

Twenty years ago, Young Life started in Africa. Today, 2 million teenagers are known by name, and that number doubles every three years.

This film follows one young man who went from life on the streets, addicted to drugs, to leading other kids to Jesus.

It’s a story of a revival that’s happening right now.
