3Story® is our brand and living operating system. It is a way of seeing how our relationships with other people and God can be connected and grown. 3Story® is not an evangelism tool or method. It is who we want to be and how we want to live. It is the “DNA” of Youth for Christ– A way of life that guides followers of Christ to be good news while telling stories of the good news.
