Stand Strong. Think of all the

people who need to hear this

message. The student who gets

taunted and pushed around

because he's di�erent. The

teenager who writes a note about

why she wants to end her life. The

wounded veteran who struggles

to pay rent as he searches for

work. The single mom who feels

like she has nothing left to give.

Stand Strong is a strategic e�ort to reach entire communities with the hope and love of Jesus Christ. Our goal is to target several di�erent cities or regions throughout the United States and spend three full days in each area visiting schools, engaging in community service, and sharing the Gospel.

Are you passionate about your city? Do you want to help kids who are being bullied? Do you

A NOTE FROMNICK

long to see the love and hope of Jesus Christ transform your community, leaving it forever changed?

This is our purpose and our prayer for Stand Strong. Check out our schedule to see if we're coming to your area, and then let us know how you'd like to get involved. If your city isn't on the schedule yet, maybe YOU are the person to gather leaders in your community and make a Stand Strong campaign happen!

We invite you to Stand Strong with us as we watch God move in our students, our neighbors, and our communities for Jesus Christ!

In Him, Through Him, For Him,

WHAT HAPPENS AT A STAND STRONG EVENT

Day 1: Stand Strong in School

On the �rst day of Stand Strong, Nick visits local middle and high schools to address the rising trends of teen depression and suicide and to challenge students to take a stand against bullying. His inspirational message is streamed live to participating schools in the local community and statewide, empowering students to seek help through their school's support channels and through our strategic partners. Nick customizes each talk and is conscious to respect church and state issues when speaking in public school settings.

After Nick spoke to over 325,000 students at 278 middle and high schools in Indiana, Governor Mike Pence said, �The time has come for kids of all ages to feel safe and secure while earning an education and beyond in our nation. On behalf of my family and Hoosier families everywhere, I o�er my profound gratitude for the tremendous work you are doing for America�s next generation.�

We want to stop stories like this from happening�

Alejandra is 10 years old. Her classmates hit her in the nose and she bled a lot. She was caught by the hair and dragged to the football �eld. They beat her up with a ball. They called her ugly and fat. She stepped into a deep depression. She attempted to harm herself. She was a very sweet girl.

�Hilariously funny, emotionally moving, and awe-inspiring to push each person to their personal best. Allison Taverner,

Day 2: Stand Strong in LifeOn the second day of Stand Strong, Nick partners with local churches, non-pro�ts, civic groups and government agencies to show God's love through community service with the goal to leave a community better than how they found it. Often the focus is on at-risk youth or veterans.

��Day 3: Stand Strong with God

Stand Strong concludes on the third day at a stadium event with an evangelistic message from Nick and a celebration concert featuring contemporary, inspirational music.

It was wonderful to hear Nick share his encouraging and compelling story. And then, to watch with amazement as so many young people responded by trusting Jesus Christ with their lives and futures.

HOW CAN I GET INVOLVED?

Donors/Corporate Sponsorships

SchoolsCommunity

Hosting an event of this scale has signi�cant costs involved. We need people who can get behind fundraising e�orts and others who will

give generously to make Stand Strong a reality in your community.

Reaching a community involves those currently in leadership, from governing o�cials to local charities and non-pro�t organizations. We need people who can facilitate meetings with local leaders and

organize meaningful opportunities to serve and impact your community.

When Nick comes to a city he'll make an appearance at select schools, while other schools have the option to stream the event live at their

assemblies. We need schools and administrators to get on board to bring Nick's inspirational

message to students in your community.

Local Leadership Churches/Faith-Based Organizations

Prayer, encouragement, and support are the heartbeat of a Stand Strong

event. We need faith-based groups who will work together to love their

communities by volunteering, spreading the word about Stand Strong,

and providing follow-up at evangelistic events.

This essential team typically includes 10-12 leaders representing the various

aspects of a Stand Strong event (school, community, stadium). These

volunteer leaders have passion for their communities and work in harmony

with the national Stand Strong team to execute the 3-day campaign.
