By Anthony J. Gryskiewicz | Ministry to teenagers in continental Europe is less developed than in other parts of the world. While Western and Northern Europe report robust youth participation, youth ministry seems underdeveloped in Central and Eastern Europe. Noting that there are global commonalities to youth ministry and how innovation is diffused, a diffusion model of youth ministry could help global workers and local churches to develop and strengthen ministry to teens in continental Europe.

By Hélder Favarin | Paul sermons in the book of Acts provide five lessons for ministry among Gen Z in any global context: multigenerational leadership, contextualization, apologetics, influencing the Areopagus, and dialogue and proclamation.

By Patricia Savage | As we at OneHope researched characteristics of Gen Z youth across the world, we discovered they have much in common. While nominal faith made little difference to their shared struggles, a commitment to Christ did. Our research indicates key ways we can close the gap to help more young people experience vitality in their faith that positively changes their everyday life.
