Luke Trouten has shared about Jesus with teenagers since he was a teenager himself. Luke loves bringing stories of hope and transformation in hopes that students will find belonging and purpose in Jesus. His work as a youth pastor has connected him to students all over, from youth camps in northern Minnesota to refugee camps in Kenyan deserts. Luke now leads Recharge Ministries, which trains and supports youth and children's ministry workers. He also works for Urban Ventures, a nonprofit in Minneapolis that works to break the cycle of poverty by preparing and sending children to college. Luke has been to 49 states, loves Asian food, and almost always has music playing. He and his wife live in South Minneapolis and enjoy cooking together, exploring new places, and getting outside as often as possible.
