RAG PROJECTS 2025
RAG ( Raise and Give) is the fundraising at TeenStreet. Before and during every TeenStreet, we raise funds to support good causes that will positively impact youth in Europe and beyond. Money is raised through our RAG race and other activities during the week. Last year we raised almost 60,000 euros!
This year we will be raising money for the following projects:
New Life Laos
With drug addiction on the rise in Laos, New Life House provides a doorway out of the endless cycle of addiction & poverty. New Life House provides recovery from drug addiction with “life-on-life” mentoring, holistic counselling, and value formation. Residents are equipped with life & career skills to forge new lives and become productive members of their communities. New life means healthy families, impacting an entire village. Changing one life changes a community. The funds raised will be used to sustain the transformation of lives, families and villages, rewriting the legacy of a nation.
OM in Albania
OM in Albania is serving in various rural communities where there are very few, or no Christians. Their future ministry projects range from catalysing new ministries to supporting existing small groups of believers or efforts to start new small groups in partnership with local churches where they are present. The funds raised will be used for the following:
- Help create a community and school library in a village school
- Support existing small groups to Have Fun and Be Bold through occasional events/outings
- Equip a very rural OM youth ministry to reach many more and seek to establish small groups
- Support an existing effort to reach teenagers through English practice as a bridge to ‘spiritual’ small groups
Supporting Teens around the World
Throughout the years we have seen how TeenStreet has impacted teens in Europe, and how they have been impacting their environment and beyond. We also want to see teens in other parts of the world grow in their personal relationship with Jesus, to have a spiritual impact and to reach out with the love of Jesus in their own country. We believe this is possible through TeenStreet and we dream of growing TeenStreet in Europe and also starting new TeenStreets around the world, so that teens in these countries really can make a difference. These funds will be directed to the TeenStreet International Multiplication Fund and to the TeenStreet Europe Fund. Part of these funds will also be used to help make it possible for underprivileged teenagers in Europe to come to the European event, for example teenagers from Ukraine.
