Gospel-Centered Youth Ministry

What if I told you there was something you could do that would triple the growth of your youth group, motivate your teenagers to have 10 times more gospel conversations, and result in three times as many teens discipling other teens?

What if I told you that something would cost you nothing (financially anyway)? Would you be interested?

Of course you would!

That’s why I can’t wait to share the upcoming research report Dare 2 Share Ministries did in partnership with a third-party research firm, which shows how any youth group can experience this kind of explosive growth—both spiritually and numerically—by making one strategic shift in their youth ministry model.

The Shift That Sparks Revival

Putting evangelism at the center of your disciple-making strategy is the game-changer. When you and your leaders live out a gospel advancing lifestyle and disciple your teenagers to do the same—training them to model Gospel Advancing with their friends—your ministry will begin to thrive in ways you’ve only hoped for.

You don’t need a bigger budget, louder music, or flashier events. You simply need courage and commitment to prioritize teen-to-teen evangelism. It’s gritty, it’s countercultural, and it’s exactly what Jesus did.

Jesus’ Model Still Works.

Jesus was the ultimate youth leader. Most of his disciples were likely teenagers when he called them. In Matthew 4:19, he lays out his disciple-making framework:

“Come, follow me … and I will send you out to fish for people.”

He modeled it (Luke 8:1), mobilized his core team (Luke 8:1–2) and multiplied the movement (Luke 10:1). Evangelism and discipleship were never separate in Jesus’ mind. They were woven together into a lifestyle and a mission.

Start the Movement.

This research report isn’t written for statisticians—it’s written for ministry leaders like you who long to see God move in extraordinary ways. When you download the report, you’ll receive clear, actionable steps to make this vision a reality.

Go to DontMissIt.org, and sign up now. The full report and accompanying video will be sent to you on August 4.

Don’t miss it. Spread the word. It’s time to mobilize the next generation!

Reviving Personal Evangelism

If we are going to see more people saved in North America and more people engaged in personal evangelism, then we desperately need the Holy Spirit to work in all our hearts. Simply put, we need a mighty move of God in our land.
