The Day of Global Youth Evangelism continues a global movement built on decades of passion, prayer, and proven ministry. It carries forward the story God has been writing through Dare 2 Share for nearly thirty years, a story of youth leaders being equipped, students being mobilized, and the Gospel advancing to every corner of the world.

A Legacy of Equipping and Evangelism
For nearly three decades, Dare 2 Share has been helping youth leaders and students share their faith with confidence and clarity. Founded by Greg Stier, a former youth pastor with a deep passion for the Gospel, the ministry has equipped and inspired countless teenagers and leaders through events, curriculum, and online resources. Every resource, event, and training is built on one unchanging vision: seeing every teen, everywhere, hear the Gospel from a friend.
That legacy has been shaped through years of partnership with churches of every size and denomination. From small rural congregations to large urban ministries, Dare 2 Share has consistently provided practical, biblical tools that work in real-life ministry. Leaders who have participated in other events like Lead THE Cause and Dare 2 Share LIVE have reported seeing dramatic shifts in their students; more prayer, deeper faith, and boldness to talk about Jesus with friends who don’t know Him.
This track record of impact has created a foundation of trust across the global youth ministry community. When leaders partner with Dare 2 Share, they know they’re stepping into something tested, Spirit-led, and effective. The Day of Global Youth Evangelism builds on that foundation, uniting churches and leaders worldwide in one powerful day of Gospel action.
Stories of Transformation
Behind every Dare 2 Share event are stories of leaders and students whose lives were changed forever. Over the years, gatherings like Dare 2 Share LIVE have united youth ministries across borders, showing that when the Gospel is unleashed, everything changes.
When Bell Avenue Baptist Student Ministry in Texas participated in the inaugural Dare 2 Share LIVE, their youth pastor wrote, “You could feel God’s power as 69 host sites banded together to go out and spread the Gospel… Thousands of teens were taught and equipped to share their faith without fear. God is moving, and this is just the beginning!” That first event became a launching pad for a new era of youth evangelism.
In Washington, youth pastor Luke Long shared after that same event, “I wish that every student in our nation could have been a part of Dare 2 Share LIVE yesterday. It really was THAT good. Awesome what God did in one day.” A year later, serving as an emcee, Luke described how even veteran youth leaders were “blown away” watching students who had never shared before, do so with boldness and joy.
The impact extended far beyond the U.S. In El Salvador, one youth leader testified, “Together with the students and young adults we learned how to share God’s love with people! Then we went out to evangelize in the streets and had an incredible time.” That same day, students on multiple continents were praying, serving, and sharing Christ, proving that the Gospel transcends culture and language.
In Colorado, one leader celebrated how the movement united local churches in outreach, saying, “Super proud of these students spending their weekend showing and sharing the love of Jesus! Humbled and honored to serve with such amazing youth leaders in our city to reach the 14,000 students who don’t yet know Jesus!”
And for some, the day marked the beginning of a transformation that reached their entire congregation. Baxter McGuirt, a youth pastor from Greenville, South Carolina, said, “Dare 2 Share LIVE was the thing that God used to help our church start outreach again. It helped get people excited to share the Gospel and start praying for the lost to come to Christ.” Watching teenagers knock on doors and speak boldly about Jesus inspired adults to say, “Hey, I can do that too.”
These stories are not just moments in time; they are proof of what happens when youth ministries embrace the Gospel Advancing model and trust God to move through their students. The same passion that fueled Dare 2 Share LIVE now drives the Day of Global Youth Evangelism, uniting churches and leaders worldwide in one shared day of outreach and impact.
From Training to Transformation
The heart of Dare 2 Share’s impact lies in its commitment to ongoing growth. The ministry’s Gospel Advancing ministry framework provides a clear pathway for youth leaders to integrate evangelism into every part of discipleship. It is a free, practical resource built on seven key values that help ministries thrive.
Leaders who embrace this framework often see a lasting shift. Their youth ministries become places where prayer is constant, Gospel conversations are normal, and spiritual growth happens through action. They stop asking, “What program should we run next?” and start asking, “How can we help our students live and share the Gospel daily?”
The Day of Global Youth Evangelism is a continuation of that same movement. It gives youth leaders and students a shared experience that reinforces what they are already learning through Gospel Advancing principles.
A Movement That Multiplies
Dare 2 Share’s influence can now be seen in churches, schools, and communities around the world. Youth pastors who once attended a single event are now coaching others, starting prayer networks, and leading Gospel Advancing ministries in their regions.
The impact of this ministry goes beyond individual lives. Each leader trained becomes a multiplier, equipping more students and more ministries to share their faith. Every teenager who learns to communicate the Gospel becomes a messenger of hope in their own circle of influence.
The result is a movement that keeps growing. New leaders rise up with the same passion to see every teen reached with the message of Jesus, continuing the mission that began decades ago and now spans the globe.
Join the Movement
The Day of Global Youth Evangelism is your opportunity to be part of that story. As you lead your students to pray, care, and share, you are joining a network of leaders around the world who believe that young people can change the world through the power of the Gospel.
If you want to see lasting transformation in your students and your church, now is the time to take the next step.
