In addition to his role at Word of Life Outreach Ministries, he is passionate about connecting and mentoring young adults in his community by giving hope inspired by the Word of God. In 2007, Julien discovered his gift while volunteering at a local youth community center in Raleigh, NC, by desiring to teach bible study to young men and women from all backgrounds. From visiting groups of young men in a correctional facility to praying for the sick in ICU, he desires to shine his light where it seems darkest. He describes his single purpose on earth by “Giving hope where there is no hope.”
