Recently I was in Denver with over 4000 students and youth leaders at a Dare 2 Share conference. I was reminded again of the significance of teenagers in God’s kingdom work. As you may know, Dare 2 Share probably equips more students and youth leaders to share Christ than any one organization in our nation. They do so in a way that honors the message and takes into account the highly relational nature of teens as well.
As I talked with the kids and asked them why they would take the risk of sharing their faith in Christ with their friends, nearly everyone would respond with concern for their friend – their personal struggles, their eternal destiny, always something about the need of their friend. I wonder how many adults feel that way about the people sitting next to them at work, or the neighbor next door. Hopefully a lot of us do, but these kids are leading the way.There is an old proverb that says, “It is the fever of the youth that drives a nation. When the youth cool down, the nation dies.” Maybe that is true for the Church as well.
Keep believing in your students! Click here for one of their stories.
