AVERY GRANT

Founder of Live WTL Ministries, host of Live Out Loud

Hey! I’m Avery, the host of Live Out Loud and founder of Live WTL. I’m 15 years old, a sophomore in high school, and completely in love with Jesus. I founded Live WTL so that it could be a place for kids and teens to learn more about our incredible Catholic faith, but more importantly, draw closer to the God who made it all.

SCOTT

Hey I’m Scott and I’m a high school student from Boca Raton, Florida! I’m passionate about my Catholic faith and want to share it with others, especially to teens I know who are going down the wrong path and those at my school. I enjoy traveling, especially on religious pilgrimages to places like Medjugorje, Lourdes, and the Vatican. I’m also co-founder and a writer on RespectHumanLife.com, a Catholic pro-life site written by teens.

Hey I’m Allie and I’m a sophomore in high school. I have fallen madly in love with our Creator and Savior. Every day is a blessing. By joining Live WTL Ministries, I hope to share my faith with kids all over the world. Right now I’m on a journey of reading and blogging about the Catholic Bible in 365 days.

BRANDON

ministry blogger

Hey there guys! My name’s Brandon Ocampo and I’m a proud Catholic! I’m 16 and a Junior in High School. When I’m not studying the Bible, Praying the Rosary, or at Eucharistic Adoration, you can easily find me drawing or playing Soccer with my friends. I’m really friendly and helpful, and very honored to be helping out with Live WTL Ministries.

I’m still working on making a Catholic Blog, but I’ll do my best to have it up by the end of the year!

God Bless You All!

JARED

Well, I’m from the Philippines. I’ve been an altar server for about 7 years now. I’m a fan of everything Catholic- the history, doctrine, canon law, love them all! I try to study all the different aspects of our faith. I especially love the saints. I’m in the seminary right now. With regard to the tech side, I love web design and programming. I see them as tools for evangelizing our faith.
