Imagine a group photo of all the students who come to your church (or live within your community of believers) in a typical year. Take a big fat marker and cross out three out of every four faces. That's the probable toll of spiritual disengagement as students navigate through their faith during the next two decades," warns David Kinnaman, president of the Barna Group. Why are they leaving? How can the church better communicate the gospel in a way that makes sense to this generation of "leavers"?
This 15-page resource is designed to help you reach out to a generation that is leaving the church in unprecedented numbers—and to reverse the trend before it gets worse.
NOTE: You have permission to make up to 1,000 copies of this resource to be distributed in a church or educational setting.
