Here at MBM Youth we love Thirteen Three. We’ve been working alongside these guys for a few years for the cause of the Gospel in local youth groups and overseas among the persecuted church.

Here’s the reason we love what they do… they share the same vision as we do! They want to see young people living wholeheartedly radical, Jesus-centred lives that have local and global impact.

We have been so encouraged and convicted by the stories 13:3 bring. We need the persecuted church more than they need us! We need their stories, their example of faith, their boldness. So we decided to be bound with them. They inspire us to radical discipleship and we want to pray for them and provide for their needs.

One way we thought we could be bound with 13:3 was to give a significant portion of the EP sales of our youth band (We Are The Outpost) to bless the persecuted church.

The vision for We Are The Outpost is that as a youth group we would be an outpost of God’s kingdom and glory on earth. We believe that the persecuted church is an outpost of God’s glory in the darkest of places.

We would love to give as much money as possible to 13:3 to support the distribution of Bibles in Colombia and the training of Bible college students in Vietnam, Myanmar and Indonesia.

Partnering with the persecuted couldn’t be easier – purchase a copy of We Are The Outpost’s latest EP Awaken for $10.
