The Reach4Life New Testament Bible facilitates change through bringing young people to Christ, discipling them, and teaching them Bible-based life skills addressing issues specific to teens and young adults ages 12 to 25. The devotional focuses on the 4 journeys: how to be saved, growing in Christ, how to face challenges, and how to be a change agent yourself. Additionally, the Reach4Life program implements an effective teaching and discipling method called peer education. Peer influence can be such a strong factor in a youth’s decision-making process, that when youth are transformed by the Word of God and choose to lead their peers we consistently see dramatic improvements in behavior and life choices.
