I was surprised by the fact that after speaking at 71Five’s High School Camp there was a group of seven or eight young men gathered to speak about theology and church history for close to an hour!  For anyone that’s worked in or around youth group ministry this was a surprising encounter, but Gen Z boys are starting to change the world!  There has been an increase of 30 million US adults who claim to be following Jesus since 2021.  This growth is mainly fueled from Generation Z and Millennials.  At the same time, a recent study found over 40% of Gen Z report feeling persistently sad or hopeless and many people feel that is what’s driving the younger generations to look for an anchor or some stability in life.

 

These are very exciting times to be in youth ministry!  We have an awesome opportunity, you and I, to reach young people with the gospel!  Many of them are looking towards heaven and asking for help.  This is a golden opportunity to reach them and be a part of the Great Gen Z Revival!  Please consider helping us with financial resources, your time, and your prayer.  Let’s not keep silent, at such a time as this, [Esther 4:14] let us stand up and reach these youth, for Christ – AMEN!
