Something to think about:
The great Russian Saint, Theophan the Recluse said:

Save yourself and a thousand around you will be saved.

In other words, work hard on your own salvation and people cannot help but be positively influenced by your witness.

The mission and goal of GOYA ministry is to lead our young people into experiencing the Holy Orthodox Faith. By developing a personal relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and becoming active sacramental members of the living Church, our young people will be equipped with tools necessary to assist them in their journey toward salvation.
