What is Dare 2 Share LIVE?

Teens desperately need the hope of Christ, and their peers are the best possible messengers of that hope. Imagine what could happen in our communities if every teen, everywhere, heard the Gospel from a friend. Through Dare 2 Share LIVE, youth ministries around the world are uniting to activate young people to reach their world with the message of Jesus.

This on-demand video training event you can do in your own community ignites your teensā€™ hearts for the lost, equips them with a clear Gospel message, and activates them to step out to serve and share.Ā 

Why it Works

Evangelism accelerates the discipleship process like nothing else does! When students share the Gospel, especially with their peers, they ask questions, pray deeply and learn to depend on the Holy Spirit. Plus, they get to participate in the Cause of Christ, making disciples who make disciples. Dare 2 Share LIVE is a global movement with local impact as communities are impacted by the Gospel and teens are transformed as they share.

FAQs

Dare 2 Share LIVE 2023 kicks off on November 11, 2023 to start a movement of youth-led Gospel conversations that will spread across the globe. The on-demand video content can be accessed anytime.Ā 

This year, the event is shifting from a single-day livestream broadcast to on-demand video content. What’s good about this change?

  • With the new Dare 2 Share LIVE model, groups can participate in any way and timing that works for them. They can do this on a different day or split it over multiple days. Groups will be able to have the full experience on any day, not just 11/11.
  • Making the content no longer time-bound allows groups from any time-zone around the world to join at a time that works for their group, so that evangelism and outreach will be happening around the world constantly in that 24-hour period (and beyond!).
  • The event no longer requires a strong internet connection, so it opens up new opportunities for venues if groups are able to connect to the internet to download the video files first and then take them anywhere.

Dare 2 Share LIVE is designed for church youth groups to do together. An adult leader should facilitate the event for the Middle School and High School age students and youth in their church. The training and outreach should be done together and led by an adult. You know your students best, but we’ve seen even unchurched and apathetic teens leave on fire for the Gospel.

Because evangelism accelerates the discipleship process like nothing else does! When students share the Gospel, especially with their peers, they ask questions, pray deeply and learn to depend on the Holy Spirit. Plus, they get to participate in the Cause of Christ, making disciples who make disciples. Dare 2 Share LIVE is a global movement with local impact as communities are impacted by the Gospel and teens are transformed as they share.
