Our Methodology
Over the last 30+ years, our team has developed a simple five step process to effectively train for impact and lasting change. We call it “Why? What? How? Now! Wow!” We use this method to guide everything we do.
Everyone needs a burning “why” inside in order to drive growth and change – teens included. So we start with inspiration and motivation to get their hearts engaged.
Information is critical, but it also needs to be understood. We know how teens think and we break down the concepts so they “get it.”
We take the information and connect it to their lives for personal application – which is critical for long-term change.
This is the game-changer. We always give students (and youth leaders) the opportunity to put it all into practice. Moving it from theory to reality.
We can’t forget to celebrate what God has done and reflect praise back to God!
Frequently Asked Questions

The Day of Global Youth Evangelism is an annual event held on the second Saturday of November. It is designed for church youth groups to do together. An adult leader should facilitate the event for the Middle School and High School age students and youth in their church. The training and outreach should be done together and led by an adult. You know your students best, but we’ve seen even unchurched and apathetic teens leave on fire for the Gospel.
We know that evangelism accelerates the discipleship process like nothing else does! When students share the Gospel, especially with their peers, they ask questions, pray deeply and learn to depend on the Holy Spirit. Plus, they get to participate in the Cause of Christ, making disciples who make disciples. The Day of Global Youth Evangelism is a world-wide movement with local impact as communities are impacted by the Gospel and teens are transformed as they share.
Lead THE Cause is a weeklong summer camp intensive for middle school and high school students that equips and mobilizes them for sharing the Gospel. Students learn how to engage in deep prayer, share their faith effectively and relationally, and vision plan for reaching their communities back home.
