Banji was introduced to Jesus after a friend taught her and her sister the gospel, and then they prayed together. Soon after, she met Steve, who invited her to come on Young Life staff. A few months later, she attended a Young Life staff training, learned more about the mission of Young Life, and was absolutely hooked. She started Young Life in Ndola in 2013, since then, the ministry in Zambia has expanded to four new cities across Zambia. With their team of 113 leaders, they know over 2,200 teenagers by name, and 396 of them attend Bible studies every week.
