Does a Catalyst have to be a college student?

The Catalyst program is a super cool opportunity to watch older people equip, disciple, and mature younger people. It was really cool for me to see the practical application and equipping along with mentorship. It changed the way I thought about other people and that God is intentional in where he places you, it’s not just random. He’s working for our good and for His glory.
