DAVID SAWLER Goodbye Generation
Despite all our incredible children’s,
youth and young adult programs, we have not been able
to stop this mass exodus from our
churches. We have not just
lost one generation, we are losing
several.

DAVID KINNAMAN You Lost Me
Like a Geiger counter under a mushroom
cloud, the next generation is reacting to the radioactive intensity of social, technological, and religious changes. And for the most part, we are sending them
into the world unprepared to withstand
the fallout.

ALREADY GONE Ken Ham & Britt Beamer
Students didn’t begin doubting in college, they simply departed by college. If you look around in your church today, two-thirds of those who are sitting among us have already left in their hearts

MEND THE GAP Jason Gardner
If the church is haemorrhaging young people, we have to ask our selves if it’s because we address the issue of discipleship too late. Is the spiritual education we provide for our young people neither consistent enough or rigorous enough to provide them with the means to have a strong and stable faith in a time when there are many challenges to the authenticity and relevance of our beliefs?

STICKY FAITH Kara Powell & Chap Clark
Faith trajectories are often set in early adolescence. Sadly,
most youth ministries are long on fun and fluff and short
on listening and thoughtful engagement. The former produces a million paper
boats; the latter produces a handful of seaworthy ships.

Twenty years ago, the phrase was, ‘If you don’t reach a young
person by 18, you probably won’t reach them.’
Now, atheists and agnostics have the same access to your kids as you do; it is just one click away. The internet has levelled the playing field, and
nowIf you don’t reach a child by their 12th birthday, you won’t
reach them.”
Josh McDowell Changes that create the perfect storm against the church

50,000 young people a year are
leaving the Christian faith and deciding that they have 'no religion'.

DAVID GOODWIN Lost in Transition
One of the biggest problems I have seen,
and which I believe must be addressed, is that a
large percentage of children who have been
brought up in Sunday Schools and churches -
and in Christian homes - do not continue on into
adult church.

Valuegenesis 2Dr Barry Gane
“There is an increasing probability that young people will develop high Christian commitment, and high loyalty to the Church if they have the benefits of effective homes, effective churches and effective Adventist schools."
