MAVEN

There is a tremendous need to communicate the truth to todays students face-to-face, in a language they can actually understand. MAVEN is meeting that need through live speaking events, as well as developing our own conferences for students and adults. The objective of each Live Event is to equip students, parents and youth leaders with the truth of Christ in relevant and engaging ways, so they can navigate the challenges of culture. Service accomplishments in this area in the past fiscal year include: -Brett and Erin Kunkle spoke to youth and parents in 15 different states across the U.S. including: CO, GA, KY, NM, TX, OH, CA, FL, AZ, ID, NC, AR, VA, NE, and UT. -In addition, Brett and Erin spoke at one international event in Costa Rica. -Completed our sixth annual MAVEN adult conference in Orange County, CA, in February 2024, with approximately 350 people in attendance and an additional audience watching via livestream. -Completed second annual conference in Frisco, TX with approximately 300 in attendance and an additional audience via livestream.

MAVEN has developed a unique approach to mission trips, creating a one-of-a-kind training experience that immerses students in real-life apologetics, theology, worldview and evangelism. We custom-build interactive trips to Berkeley, California, to Salt Lake City, Utah, and in other U.S. locations. These immersive experiences are utterly unique...and life-changing. The objective of each Immersive Experience is to provide students with real life experiences that allow them to engage the Christian worldview at much deeper and yet very practical levels. Service accomplishments in this area in the past fiscal year include: -Leading 12 IE trips with youth groups and Christian schools from across the US -Led our fifth annual Biblical IE with approx. 120 gap year students from the Impact 360 Institute. -Hired one part-time Director of Immersive Experiences.
