Reaching the Twentysomethings
Oct 24th, 2006 by Doug
A new report from The Barna Group discusses how the twentysomthings are putting Christianity on the shelf. In fact, the data shows that 61 percent of these young adults were attending church in their teens, but are no longer actively attending church, reading their Bible or praying.
God has been putting a great burden on my heart over the last few months for this generation. In the next few posts, I will show creative ways that churches and individuals are impacting the lives of men and women in their twenty’s.
Don’t despair of the twenty-somethings. It is an age when they have to try to find themselves. If we did our job right when they were pre-adolescent, and if we did it half-way right when they were adolescent, they will be back.
BUT if we blew it when they were young, we may never see them again.
Realizing this puts the work we do with kids in a whole different perspective.
