ENCOUNTER™ the magazine allows students to take the message home. This weekly magazine for teens is graphically appealing, culturally relevant, and biblically centered.

Encounter balances in-depth Bible study with practical life application. Using powerful truths, relevant methods, and engaging activities, each lesson is designed to encourage group participation and active learning. Multimedia resources—including audio skits, classic television and movie clips, cartoons, interviews, games, and concept videos—are also incorporated into each weekly lesson.
