| Carlos Negrón of Missio Nexus and Matthew Ellison of 16:15 will be joined by special guests Nicole Parks of Cafe 1040 and Julius Tennal of Summit Church in North Carolina for an important conversation on Discipling Young People in Your Church to Become Disciple Makers of the Nations.
Across the country, churches are asking how to help the next generation develop a heart for the nations. Many young people are open, eager, and searching for purpose, but they are often discipled more by culture than by the global mission of God. At the same time, churches struggle to know how to shape students and young adults into followers of Jesus who understand His heart for all peoples and are ready to join His work locally and globally. How do we move beyond events, trips, and occasional teaching toward a pattern of discipleship that forms young believers with a passion for Christ and a vision for the unreached? What does it look like to help them hear God’s voice, cultivate spiritual depth, develop resilience, and understand the responsibility and privilege of making disciples among all nations? And how can leaders walk with young people so they grow from curiosity to conviction to long-term commitment? In this conversation, we will explore practical ways churches can disciple the next generation toward global engagement. We will look at rhythms, relationships, and environments that shape young hearts to care about what God cares about and to see themselves as active participants in His mission. You will walk away with tools that help your church invest in young people with purpose and intentionality for the sake of the nations. Presenters:
