Teen Mania has provided a powerful youth outreach in the USA and internationally for more than two decades by hosting BattleCry and Acquire the Fire events aimed at providing life-transforming rallies for young people; taking them on global expeditions and developing them to become leaders for Christ through the organization's Honor Academy.
BattleCry aims to bring volume and clarity to God's voice in the lives of teenagers, challenging them to live their lives for Him and helping them shape their future with perspectives that enable young people to see themselves in God's big plan.
"This weekend will be the event of a lifetime!" said Ron Luce. "Viewers will find the greatest worship bands and the most mind blowing interactive ministry they have experienced at a Christian event. So I encourage them to tune in to join the hundreds of thousands of young people who will attend a Teen Mania event this year and walk away transformed."
"GOD TV has a revolutionary approach to reaching today's youth" said GOD TV co-founder and director of television, Wendy Alec, "Ron Luce shares our passion to provide programming that is relevant to the now generation and we are honored to partner with Teen Mania again to show young people how far they can go in God, as they press into His divine destiny for their lives."
