Summer 2024 Theme
As students seek to live as Christ’s ambassadors, they navigate a world full of dangers (seen and unseen). This summer at Lead THE Cause will wake teens up to the reality of the power within them through the Holy Spirit and the protection provided by the truth of God’s Word. Taking on Ephesians 6:10-20 as their battle cry, youth groups will learn to LEVEL UP and, “fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel.”

As a result of “Riot Starters,” Jerrod’s teens have become devoted Christ-followers and hundreds of unsaved students have put their faith in Jesus.Jerrod is a long-time friend of Dare 2 Share and we can’t wait for him to share his wisdom, ministry experience, and contagious passion for Christ as a speaker at Dare 2 Share LIVE this year!
Zane Black spent years looking for all the crazy excitement and adventure life has to offer, but it almost cost him his life. After years of cheap thrills and temporary highs, Zane experienced a radical encounter with Jesus that changed him forever. Now, his passion is to help young people encounter Jesus for themselves and go “all in” for the gospel. Zane has spoken at numerous Dare 2 Share events and the 2019 Winter Jam tour, written books, served with Torchbearers International, and leads a ministry called Lovin Life.
what is ltc?
Lead THE Cause (LTC) is a one-week summer camp alternative from Dare 2 Share Ministries. At LTC, youth groups spend an intensive week praying, learning, and brainstorming together to reach their community for Christ. They experience:
DEEP PRAYER
Interceding for their lost friends. Students spend the first day and a half learning to align their heart with God’s and His desire for all to come to faith in Him.
FAITH SHARING
Students get many outreach opportunities to share the Gospel. Two entire afternoons are dedicated to hands-on outreach, speaking with strangers, and starting Gospel conversations. Students are also challenged to bring up the Gospel with friends and family back home via text, phone calls and written letters.
VISION PLANNING
Groups get time to brainstorm together about how to reach their community for Christ. Students will pray and plan ways they can reach their own circles of influence with the Gospel, coming away with a strategic plan and specific goals.
This powerful week really flips the switch within the hearts and minds of students. It changes youth ministry culture from teens being the consumers to the creators of ministry opportunities. Students will come home from LTC:
- Energized in their faith
- Passionate about the lost
- Equipped with tools to reach their friends and a plan to get started
The LTC experience empowers youth to make a difference for Christ in their circles of influence, and it trains youth leaders to fuel the movement by learning how to create a Gospel Advancing ministry.
