FAQ
What is an Emmanuel Young Person?
God is close to each of us and is interested in our lives. A young person in Emmanuel is primarily a young person who wants to live with God. The young people experience together Christ’s love for each one of them, which calls them to be signs of Hope for the world and for other [...]
