Imagine thousands of teenagers across the world, on the same day, stepping out into their schools, neighbourhoods and communities with one simple mission, to share Jesus. That’s exactly what the Day of Global Youth Evangelism is all about.
On Saturday, 8 November 2025, youth groups everywhere will be trained and sent out to have real gospel conversations. It’s not just a program, and it’s definitely not about ticking a box.
This day is about sparking something bigger, a youth-led movement of evangelism that can ripple through communities long after the event itself. As Jesus put it in Matthew 5:14–16, “You are the light of the world… let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” On this day, young people get the chance to shine brightly together.
Why Focus on Youth?
Here’s the thing: young people are uniquely placed to reach their peers. They’re in schools, sports teams, online spaces, and friendship circles where adults rarely have influence. When a teenager talks about faith with a mate, it’s natural, relational, and often powerful.
1 Timothy 4:12 reminds us, “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.” That’s exactly what this global day encourages teens to do, to be bold, to live out their faith, and to invite others into the hope they’ve found in Jesus.
And here’s the best part: when teens share the gospel, their own discipleship accelerates. They pray harder, lean more on the Holy Spirit, and grow deeper in their understanding of God’s Word. It’s not just about others hearing the good news, it’s about our young people becoming strong, mission-driven disciples themselves.
How It Works
The Day of Global Youth Evangelism is designed to be simple but impactful. Youth leaders sign up, gather their students, and access free training videos and resources provided by Dare 2 Share. Teens are equipped with practical tools to share Jesus in a relational way, not with pushy scripts, but with genuine conversations.
After training, groups head out into their own communities. Some might serve in practical ways, helping neighbours, visiting nursing homes, running a BBQ in the park, all while looking for natural opportunities to chat about faith. Others might go straight into conversations at shopping centres, sports fields, or school hangouts.
Seeds That Last Beyond One Day
Evangelism is rarely about instant results. More often, it’s about planting seeds. 1 Corinthians 3:6 says, “I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow.” That’s what this day is about, trusting that the conversations, prayers, and acts of kindness will bear fruit, maybe next week, maybe next year, or maybe decades down the track.
For youth ministries, this day can also be a catalyst. It’s not just an annual outing, but a launching pad to shift the culture of a group from inward-focused to outward-focused. When teens experience the joy of sharing Jesus, it can change how they see themselves and their role in God’s mission.
Connecting It to the Bigger Picture
If this sounds familiar, it’s because it ties in beautifully with the vision shared in the latest episode of the Win Win Evangelism Podcast with Greg Stier, founder of Dare 2 Share. Greg spoke with Tina Waldrom about moving from program-driven youth ministry to truly mission-driven youth ministry.
Greg reminded us that when teens are mobilised to share the gospel, they don’t just impact others, they grow themselves. He even shared that the average teen in a gospel-advancing group can have around 50 gospel conversations a year! That’s incredible impact.

Final Word
On 8 November 2025, the world will see something powerful, youth ministries united across nations for one cause: Jesus. As teens step out, conversations will happen, prayers will be prayed, and seeds of faith will be sown.
If you’re a youth leader, now’s the time to get your group involved. And if you’re a parent, pastor, or church member, start praying for the next generation to rise up with boldness and love.
Because when the gospel is in the hands of young people, it spreads fast, it spreads far, and it leaves a legacy.
One day. One message. One hope.
