Upon accepting the responsibility of the ministry of WOLUK, David Kelso prayerfully considered what WOLUK could do to fill gaps in the ministry provided to churches by parachurch organisations.  While many of these organisations use volunteers from churches, David saw an opportunity to challenge young people in spiritual growth through personal discipleship and the volunteer experience.  A wide range of experiences are available through the residential experience where they receive training and accountability.  The young people are encouraged to use that experience to increase their involvement in their local churches and universities.
