How the Global Youth Culture is Changing the Missions World

Friday, 1:30 – 2:45 PM

Presented by: Aaron Pierce

The emerging Global Youth Culture, connected by consumerism, social media, and the entertainment industry, forms the largest global culture ever to exist and is largely influenced by one predominant worldview – Secular Humanism. This demographic is not found only in post-Christian regions like Europe or the USA. It is impacting cultures in urban centers of every region of the world, including the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. The secular humanistic worldview and lifestyle is becoming increasingly prevalent among those who identify as a particular religious group (i.e. Muslim, Hindu, Christian, etc.), largely due to the influence of the Global Youth Culture. The Global Youth Culture presents a unique challenge to the Church worldwide because of the large cultural gap that exists between the Church and secularized society.
