The mission of National Youth Ministries is to equip the Church to Win, Build and Send students for the cause of Jesus Christ. This is a biblical mandate and model for youth ministry. Win, Build and Send has been the focus and model of NYM for approximately two decades, during which the Assemblies of God youth group constituents have grown over sixty percent (1984-2008).

Win, Build & Send is the three-part CAUSE of the Lord Jesus Christ...it is disciple-making through the power of the Holy Spirit. When Jesus called the first disciples, he said, "Come, follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." (Mt. 4:19, NIV)

• "[Come] follow me" - WIN, the call to be a follower of Jesus Christ
• "I will make you" - BUILD, the call to become more like Jesus
• "fishers of men" - SEND, the call to continue Jesus' mission

Jesus' words in the classic Great Commission passage (Mt. 28:19-20) reflect the same win, build and send call. Jesus' final words in Luke 24:49 and Acts 1:8 declare the empowerment for the call in the promise of the Holy Spirit.
