“I am not ashamed of the gospel,
because it is the power of God for
the salvation of everyone who
believes…”
Romans 1:16a
MISSION
Mobilizing teenagers to
relationally and relentlessly reach
their generation for Christ
In a 2011 Barna study, 59% of 18-29 year
olds with a Christian background report
that they had or have dropped out of
attending church, after going regularly when
they were younger.

“With God, we don’t wanna
change the world…
we’re gonna
change the
world!”
Scientists at Rensselaer Polytechnic
Institute have found that when just
10 percent of the population holds an
unshakeable belief, their belief will
always be adopted by the majority of
society.

VISION
Teenagers on every high school and middle school in
America who are relationally and relentlessly reaching
their generation for Christ and mobilizing other
teens to do the same
According to Dann Spader and Gary Mayes, the
average church in America is seeing less than a 3%
growth rate from new conversions.[1] However,
church growth experts say that churches need to
see at least a 10% new conversion growth rate in
order to be considered “healthy.” Meanwhile, youth
groups who have participated in Dare 2 Share
conferences are seeing an average of 18% new
conversion growth within their youth ministries![2]

“These books are great for getting teens to
share their faith. The books are CONCISE
enough to keep a teen's attention,
COMPLETE enough to fully explain the
whole story of the gospel and COOL enough
for my teenagers to unashamedly pass
them on to their friends.”

JULIE’S GROUP
“Dane (8th grade boy) had shared with a friend and she trusted in Christ, then
she then shared with Dane how her dad might be dying of cancer. Dane told
her to share with her dad about Jesus. She did and he trusted in Christ too.
Then on Monday Dane went to school and gave the Life in 6 words book to his
friend to read during lunch. The boy only got through 5 pages, put the book
down and said
“Tell me what this means.” Dane explained
and he trusted in Christ right there in
the lunchroom at school.
Another student Jackson (7th grade)
shared how his friend came to know Christ
at D2S. Maxine shared about how her friend
trusted in Christ, and that friend told her mom
and she trusted in Christ.”
