The initial purpose for this site is laid out under the tabs, but we want this site to be more. If you have a youth event you want advertised just let us know and we can post an advertisement (for free) on this site.
In days when many drift through life aimlessly we want to share God's wonderful plan of salvation and His awesome plan for young people's lives!
Catching the Vision (CTV) aims to encourage teens and young adults to get active in their local churches for the glory of God! We want to raise their vision to see the great things that God has for their life! We want to see them saved, encouraged, and serving in their local church.
In Focus Ministries has a long history of working with local churches to encourage and assist. Unlike the parachurch organisations we plan and work deliberately to strengthen local churches rather than weaken them. Any IFM event has the goal of assisting and strengthening like-minded churches, not replacing or weakening them. Our goal is to work with you.
The Catching the Vision youth conference aims to draw together a group of like-minded teens and young adults for the purpose of evangelism and encouragement.
We are grateful to Ballyclare Baptist Church for hosting this year's meeting.
If the teens and young adults leave the meeting and return to their home churches revived, excited and willing to serve then our goal would have been reached.

At 4pm on Saturday, 26th July we will hold the first Catching the Vision IFM Youth Conference. We are inviting teens and young adults from all the churches we know of like faith to join us for an afternoon of fun, fellowship, preaching and praise!
The meeting will be held at Ballyclare Baptist Church . For maps and directions please click here or on the Directions button in the menu.
Session 1 - 4pm - 5pm
A Vision of Eternity
Pastor Martin Wickens of Faith Baptist Church , Newtownabbey
Testimony from Evan Williams, missionary to Honduras.
The first session will focus on challenging the lost to come to Christ. Before any can serve, they must be saved. We are excited to have Evan with us to share how the Lord has worked in his life and what he plans to do in Honduras.
Session 2 - 5:30pm
A Vision for Your Life
Pastor Travis Snode of Northwest Baptist Church , Londonderry
Testimony from Stephen Silverson, member of Faith Baptist Church, Newtownabbey.
This session will focus on stirring up the young people to catch God's vision for their life! We agree with William Carey in that we must "Expect great things from God and attempt great things for God."
