About me:

More than a band, more than student conferences, Desperation is a youth movement for local churches. This unofficial site is dedicated to telling real-life stories of the Desperation Nation -- and giving a few updates.

As the student ministries of New Life Church, we believe that change happens locally. It happens when people act where they are with what they have. Change happens gradually. It occurs when people do a series of little things well over a long period of time.

Desperation is all about students being changed by the presence of God. And creating change where they are by plugging into their local church and staying faithful. This is a generation in desperate pursuit of God. Together, let's make our lives defined by faith and faithfulness. And we can spread salvation around the world. Come on. It's time.
