Testimonials

Peter Ko

Connect is an incredibly important ministry. Statistics show that we lose so many youth from the faith in the transition from high school to tertiary studies. Connect ensures that the first step they make post-HSC is towards growth and fellowship with other graduates, led by university students, with a view of connecting them with each other and campus ministries. I don't think there is a more important group churches and parents should be strongly encouraging their graduates to participate in.
