OUR AIM JUXTAPOSE'S main aim and objective is to give young people a new perspective on who JESUS is and what it means to be a Christian. Leading up to and during our performances we focus on Christ and offer the audience the gift of a new and original spiritual experience. We want the youth of all nations to know that they are special, and that they are loved and that anything else is a lie. We also want young people to realize that there are no specific requirements when it comes to seeking God and entering His presence, and that they can do what they love for Christ and honour Christ in everything they do.
