“To do justice, and love kindness, and to walk humbly with our God” – Micah 6:8
At Walking the Talk you’ll connect with other youth – and through community building, worship, song and ACTION you’ll learn and work together – exploring the passage from Micah, going out into the city, making a difference in your life and in the lives of others. Walking the Talk is Youth Outreach in Action!
