Partners
This vision is too big and too important to accomplish alone. Dare 2 Share partners with like-minded ministries across the globe to help us train teens and youth leaders to share their faith. If we’re going to reach the world’s 1 billion teenagers, it’s going to take all of us making and multiplying disciples.
Here are the partners who share our heart for teenagers to know Jesus.

What youth pastors are saying
