5000+ Waves are in over 60+ countries!

Hi, pals! I am helping co-lead a small group of teens weekly. We come together to talk about what God is doing in all of our lives, and the struggles we have faced or are facing. I want to see them empowered to be who God has called them to be. I hope many of you will soon begin to realize that no matter what age you are, you can always start a WAVE! Thank y’all!

timothy

The founder of WAVES has always had a passion for preparing todays generation to become tomorrow leaders. For over 20 years he has always believed that he will never do something for a teenager that they can do themselves. Jesus picked 12 disciples who were all under the age of 25, and he believes that teenagers have the same ability just like the teenagers Jesus picked. Tim has helped empower thousands of teenagers and helped over 500,000 find their identity in Christ through his book Pray21. Teenagers want to be part of something, but sometimes they do not know how to express it. With a little push it is amazing that these students can do. Tim really believes that a mentors job is to stay in the background and let the teenagers learn as they go.

Tim is very busy but there are a few options for getting in touch with him.

He has spent many years learning what it is like to be given the reigns from a mentor. He has used that experience to better himself and the WAVE he was in. Contacting Parker is a great idea if you have questions in the following areas:
