Join Ben and John Paul as they talk with William Cumby, Minister of Youth at Fountain of Praise in Houston TX, as they talk about sexual purity and student ministry.

Show Notes and Quotes:

We have to listen to our students. Students are saying “All you want us to do is recruit out friends but you don’t care about our concerns.” – Will Cumby

We must listen to the students in our ministry and address their concerns. How many times do we tell them to bring their friends and not address the issues they are facing.


William Cumby is the Minister of Youth for The Fountain of Praise, a 25,000 member non-denominational church in southwest Houston, Texas. He is a graduate of the DEVOS urban leadership initiative and a Summa Cum Laude graduate of Oral Roberts University. William has served in youth ministry for over 15 years and led several youth crusades to Colombia and Brazil.
