Every youth pastor longs to see students live out their faith in real life. The Day of Global Youth Evangelism turns that longing into action.
Launching for the first time in 2025, the Day of Global Youth Evangelism is a brand-new global initiative from Dare 2 Share Ministries that builds on the legacy of Dare 2 Share LIVE. For years, Dare 2 Share LIVE united youth ministries across the nation for one day of evangelism and training. Now, that same vision is expanding to better reach the world.
On November 8, 2025, youth groups across the globe will gather for one day of prayer, courage, and Gospel conversations. It is a moment when the next generation steps forward to share the hope of Jesus together.
Whether your group is large or small, the Day of Global Youth Evangelism gives you everything you need to train, equip, and mobilize students to make disciples who make disciples. It is more than a new name on the calendar. It is the next chapter in a growing movement to help every teen everywhere hear the Gospel.

A United Moment for a Global Mission
The Day of Global Youth Evangelism turns local outreach into a visible act of unity. On this single day, youth ministries everywhere work toward one goal: bringing the hope of the Gospel to their communities.
That unity reminds every young believer that they are part of something far larger than their local youth group. They are part of a worldwide Church on mission.
How It Started and Why It Matters
For nearly a decade, Dare 2 Share LIVE served as a powerful catalyst for youth ministries across the United States. Each year, students and leaders gathered on the same day to receive evangelism training and then go out to share their faith in their communities.
In 2025, that vision is growing. The Day of Global Youth Evangelism builds on the international reach of Dare 2 Share LIVE, uniting churches and ministries worldwide in one coordinated day of prayer, care, and Gospel sharing.
This new format allows ministries from any country to participate through free, on-demand training videos, downloadable guides, and access to a worldwide event portal. The goal is simple and unchanged: to see every teen everywhere hear the Gospel from a friend.
The Day of Global Youth Evangelism builds on the foundation of Dare 2 Share LIVE, offering an even simpler and more flexible way for churches around the world to participate. It brings leaders and students together in one mission to share the hope of Jesus with boldness and clarity.

2025 Theme: Be Like Jesus
Every year, the Day of Global Youth Evangelism focuses on a theme that shapes training and outreach. For 2025, the theme is Be Like Jesus.
Students will explore Mark 1:35–42, learning how Jesus modeled a lifestyle of Prayer, Care, and Share. They will see how He prayed for people, cared for their needs, and shared the Good News with compassion and truth.
The free event training videos help leaders teach these principles in a way that is simple, biblical, and transformative. Evangelism stops feeling like pressure and begins to look like love.
Learn more about applying this theme in What It Means to Be Like Jesus in Evangelism.
Living the Prayer, Care, Share Lifestyle
When youth ministries embrace this lifestyle, evangelism becomes an ongoing part of discipleship rather than a one-time event.
- Pray: Ask God to soften hearts and open doors.
- Care: Show genuine compassion through service and listening.
- Share: Speak the truth of the Gospel with humility and confidence.
This rhythm reflects the ministry of Jesus and builds habits that last well beyond November 8.

Building Momentum Before the Day
Momentum shapes results. When students grasp the reason behind the Day of Global Youth Evangelism, they approach the day with passion and clarity.
Prepare in Advance
Begin several weeks early. Use the event’s videos and Mark 1 devotionals to introduce the theme Be Like Jesus. Encourage students to pray for friends they want to reach and practice sharing the Gospel using what they have learned in the training videos and resources.
Empower Student Leaders
When students lead, the entire group takes notice. The Day of Global Youth Evangelism is an ideal opportunity to develop student leaders who model what it means to live on mission.
Start by identifying a few students who are already demonstrating faithfulness and influence. Invite them to take ownership of key areas like prayer, communication, logistics, and outreach coordination. Let one student lead the prayer team, another handle social posts or updates within the group chat, and another organize acts of service or evangelism routes.
Giving students leadership roles does more than lighten your workload. It strengthens their discipleship. When young people are trusted with responsibility, they grow in confidence, leadership skills, and passion for the Gospel. Peer leadership also fuels momentum. Students are far more likely to participate when they see friends leading the way.
Encourage your student leaders to share stories and reflections after the event. Their testimonies will motivate others to join future evangelism efforts.
Engage Parents and the Church
A strong youth outreach thrives when the entire church family gets behind it. Take time before the Day of Global Youth Evangelism to share the vision with parents, volunteers, and the broader congregation.
During Sunday services or small group meetings, explain the heart behind the event and how it aligns with your church’s mission. Invite adults to pray for students by name, contribute supplies, or join the follow-up team that connects with new believers after the outreach.
Parents can play a powerful role by encouraging conversations at home, praying with their teens before they go out, and celebrating stories of life change afterward. When families are involved, evangelism becomes a shared experience that strengthens faith across generations.
On the Sunday following the event, dedicate a few minutes to sharing testimonies and photos during the service. Let the congregation see how God moved through the next generation. This keeps the excitement alive and inspires ongoing participation.

Stories of Transformation
Every large movement begins with one story. The Day of Global Youth Evangelism builds on years of moments like this, with students stepping out in faith, sharing the Gospel, and watching God work through them in unexpected ways.
Take Luke, for example. Luke is a youth leader at Atonement Church, and God transformed his ministry after attending a Dare 2 Share conference. He witnessed his students’ newfound passion for sharing the Gospel, and Luke embraced a Gospel Advancing model, leading to a vibrant, disciple-making youth group. Watch Luke’s Story.
Stories like these reveal what happens when students realize that evangelism is not just something they attend but something they live. The same kind of transformation that began at past Dare 2 Share events is expanding across the globe through the Day of Global Youth Evangelism.

Ready to Be Part of the Movement?
The Day of Global Youth Evangelism is not just another event. It is a catalyst that awakens purpose within the Church.
As you lead your students through this year’s theme, Be Like Jesus, you will prepare them to pray for those far from God, care for people in need, and share the hope of the Gospel with bold faith.
This November, your ministry can stand with churches worldwide, giving every teen everywhere a chance to hear and respond to the message of Jesus.
