LIMITLESS PIONEERS exists to help local churches with no youth groups to reach out to the young people in their communities and launch new youth ministries. Limitless has a vision to launch 100 new youth ministries in churches who are not currently reaching young people. In September 2017, the LIMITLESS Pioneers project was officially launched, and we have so far established 37 new youth ministries through the work of this initiative. This initiative has been built on training youth workers up and sending them out to serve, partner and work with local churches to launch and establish new youth groups, as well as training local teams to continue the new ministries. We have planted 37 new youth ministries, however we have not seen all 37 last the test of time. Part of this role is to work alongside those ministries that have been planted to continue to equip and resource them to be able to stand the test of time, and make sure each ministry is sustainable.
