Excerpts of contributions

Lisa Bevere

New York Times best-selling author of Without Rival

Co-Founder, Messenger International

People have said that my dad and mum are great disciplers. I think I deserve at least half the credit because they’ve been practising on me at home. One of the reasons why I am a leader is because HOGC empowers youths. I held responsibilities at 11. Not just me, but a whole generation of youths like me.

Dr Robi Sonderegger

Renowned clinical psychologist, church consultant, international conference speaker

As a people-systems consultant, I don’t write as someone who has been impressed by what I’ve witnessed, but rather, someone who has been ‘in-pressed’ by what I’ve experienced.

What other pastors and leaders say about

GenerationS

Humble beginnings of building

How and Lia

Founders and Authors

We sincerely believed that we were a divine experiment, heaven’s pilot project and earth’s guinea pigs. It took a lot of stupidity and insanity to believe that we could build a youth church, especially without financial backing or a branded movement’s endorsement. If there were a vote on the potential of new church plants, we would probably be voted most likely to crash and burn.
