You’re completely right. I never know how to share my faith or even truly show it without seeming like a complete hypocrite. I’m psyched about it. I want to do something, get out there. Count me in.

wow!! my heart exactly.. regarding this generation. i just recieved the Youth Director postion at my church. Last spring while i was "filling in" I kept "preching/teaching/telling" the students that this MUST be and WILL be the generation that is turned back to Truth and Jesus Christ… some just stared at me like i was crazy… yeah.. i am crazy for Jesus Christ and the lost. we have had over 8 teen suicides in this small commuinty (12,000) in the last school year. the youngest (2) were 12 yrs. of age. please give me/feed me all the info you can or tips or ideas or whatever.. i have been immersesed in books about this generation and all say the same things…. Ron Luce, Josh McDowell, and now i have discovered your web site.. tired of the flimsy watered down whimpy youth material… need meat!! and reality!! thanks. lori

Greg….you are so right on. We’ve got to start equipping our teens with the tools they need to own and share their faith. I’m bringing my teens to our 1st D2S conference in Columbus next year. I’m so pumped. I believe this is what God is saying to me amd my teens: tell them about Me. You are so contagious and passionate. I love it!!! Can’t wait for the new books. They sound great. I’m going through the Outbreak DVD with my group starting next week with the plan of an outbreak in my youth ministry this summer. Thanks for your heart and obedience. Riding the Momentum

Greg – This is music to my ears, especially the prayer part! As an adult volunteer, I have recently become involved in what we call our junior high "Impact Team", a team of junior high students with the ability to lead, motivate, and influence other students. We are looking to expand our bounderies beyond the youth of our church and even our community (Roseville, CA). We are looking into raising enough money for nine students and three leaders to make it to the Gameday conference in Denver! I saw you at Willow Creek last February and have read your book "Battlezone." Your ministry has had an impact on me and I hope to transfer that over to my students and then unleash them on the world! Thanks for what you do and the passion for which you do it! God Bless!! Brad

Hey Greg, I have looked up to you as a great example of faith and passion and dedication for quite some time now and I would simply like to say thanks. Thank you for staying faithful to the Lord in more ways than one. I am a simple young man from Broonfield and yet not so simple. My history is similar to yours, mostly with the family issues. My father was and still is an alcaholic, toker and addicted to anger. I’ve been counseling my mother out of suicide since I was small, my sister is now pregnant with the child of a man that wants nothing to do with her in many ways. The three of them live in Manitou Springs in a one bedroom cottage. I left home when I was seventeen for scary and stupid reasons and it was in my complete depravity that I turned to the Lord. It’s more complicated than that but that’s essentially my testimony. On a nother subject, yes I hold the same beliefs as you do about revival and this generation of teens becoming that "giant". I am on leadership for Dry Bones of Broomfield and a nother youth group for another church and it saddens me as well to see people of other beliefs more passionate for a lie than we are about the truth. All that is noth truth or of the truth will be abolished. So why is it that we invest, even as christians in that which will be destroyed at the coming? There is so much I could rant on and so many points I would love to make but I guess, if you’re not too busy, seriously, I don’t want to just add to your busy schedule, I would love a response to know that you did read this. So thanks for all you do and God Bless. Don’t give up. You’ve let the Lord use you to reach me in many ways.

There has to be something more than Sunday, after Sunday, after Sunday…… Heck I can’t even remember what my preacher said four sermons ago from today… CAN YOU? I am not sure if he even remembers… he is probably caught up with buying things, family issues, work related stuff, his kids… Just like the rest of the world. Man has the devil got us where he wants us! I think there is something to be learned from these Mormons… Ive said that countless times. ithink I said it in your office when I met you! We need the similar system from them in the evangilistic perspective. BUT more serventhood is my belief. But what really needs to happen is the people need to be SOLD OUT not on buying a new CD, a new home, a new dress or watching another lame t.v. show or yet another book written by another preacher and his spin on yet the same old topic for $16.95 at the local Christian book store. We are all dead. The problem is I don’t think anyone really believes it till its to late and we are on the other side. I am tired of my job, I am tired of the music, song and dance……. I am tired of getting up to here another sermon that no one seems to act upon… Only so they can feel good about themseleves going to church. There has to be more than Sunday after Sunday after Sunday… ARE YOU? WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT?

Well- lets see. Next year I’m going to start something at me school. Its going to be FCLA Future Christian Leaders of America. Tomorrow I’m doing my sophmore project on Christianity. I’m basically going to get to tell my whole class about Jesus I’m going to go through GOSPEL and more. My youth pastor is coming in too and I’m going to do an interview him. Also just keep sharing my faith every opportunity God gives me. At my church last Sunday they did a whole thing on- The car is on fire we need to get them out. But the best way to start a revolution would be to first find a friend that wants to start one to. Then go start a revolution. There is a reason why Jesus sent his disciples out in 2. Where ever there is 2 of us ther is 2 of Him. Basically we the church need to come TOGEATHER under God and do this thing. So wake up now!!! The car is on fire and when the car is on fire you do whatever it takes to get them out.
