Desperation conference exists to call students to treasure, glorify, and follow Jesus above all else. We aim to partner with the local church in fostering an environment where students can encounter the presence of God, be saturated in the truth of His word, and be commissioned in the call of His gospel.
THIS IS THE STORY OF DESPERATION
