Annual Catalytic Events

There’s nothing quite like a yearly big event to accelerate Gospel-sharing momentum.

Day of Global Youth Evangelism

A free, video-based youth ministry event, designed to spark a movement of teen-led Gospel conversations through your youth group.

Gospel Advancing Short-Term Missions Trips

Here are five simple ways to ensure any summer camp or mission trip is a life-changing experience for teens.

Quarterly Evangelism Training

Build confidence in your students, using curriculum that equips them with Gospel-sharing skills, techniques, strategies, and motivation.

Full Circle

Full Circle dives into Luke 5:15-26, using games, video clips, and discussions to mobilize students to intentionally share their faith, using Jesus’s Prayer – Care – Share approach.

Before – Then – After

In just one lesson, the Before – Then – After curriculum first helps your students understand that every Christian has a salvation story worth telling and then teaches them how to articulate theirs.

Takeoff to Touchdown

This four-session youth curriculum launches with biblical motivations for students to share their faith, and continues week by week, training them how to start, sustain, and gracefully wrap up meaningful conversations about God with the people in their lives.

Monthly Activation Experience

Activate the faith of your students by empowering them to do the very things they’ve been learning about.

Prayer Experiences

Give students the chance to experience the power of prayer in their everyday lives.

Care Activities

Find ways to be the hands and feet of Jesus and meet the needs of your community.

Share Events

Putting what they’ve learned into practice and sharing the Gospel with others will accelerate the faith of your teens and allow them to experience the power of the Gosepl.

Weekly Storytelling

Habitually incorporating a time to share stories—good and bad—about praying for, caring for and sharing the Gospel with lost friends creates a culture of accountability in your group.

Pause for the Cause

This weekly “huddle” time helps your group feel more like a team, and the whole group looks forward to hearing how God is moving.

Give the Gospel Every Week

It may seem like this would be repetitive, but there are key reasons this practice is crucial for your believing students as well as for unbelievers.

Daily Time in the Word

Continually learning about and building a relationship with the God who is worthy of being shared with others is essential for a healthy evangelistic life.
