This is the ninth episode of a ten-part series focusing on Reaching the Unchurched. In this episode, Dr. Kent Hunter looks at dynamic twelve. Every renewal of a local church or a group of churches, or every refreshing Christian movement in every country has one thing in common: It includes a parallel youth movement. Many churches have lost most of their youth because they failed to reinvent contemporary packaging styles, strategies, and approaches. Ironically, when churches do go through a turnaround, it usually includes the excitement and energy of younger people. How old were Mary and Joseph? The disciples? Young adults have a unique and important role in a revival. Traditional methods of equipping young adults for ministry, like seminaries and Bible colleges are struggling with low enrollment. This has led to breakthrough approaches that parallel the way Jesus equipped the disciples. Find out more about SEND Young Adults by visiting www.thesendmovement.com
