"Pain often serves a purpose, even when it’s hard to see during times of despair. Seven years ago, I lost my twenty-four-year-old son, which left me traumatized and questioning how to cope. Through healing, I felt God's guidance to focus on the physical and spiritual welfare that many of our youths and young adults are facing. My eyes opened to the struggles and challenges facing the youths of our society. What our youths and young adults are dealing with is not being properly and adequately addressed in the church. After divine direction from the Lord, I extended the ministry of EXALT Youth Community Center to my home in Enugu, Nigeria There are currently 100 youths and young adults who are a part EXALT Youth in Enugu. The vision is still the same; to incite and foster a courageous generation that uses their God-given gifts and power to impact their communities, marketplace and the world. We host Young Minds Mingle, as a virtual platform, to bridge the gap between biblical principles and everyday life." Pastor Mercy Oduah
