According to Dann Spader and Gary Mayes, the average church in America is seeing less than a 3% growth rate from new conversions. [1] However, church growth experts say that churches need to see at least a 10% new conversion growth rate in order to be considered “healthy.” Meanwhile, youth groups who have participated in Dare 2 Share conferences are seeing an average of 18% new conversion growth within their youth ministries!

JULIE’S GROUP “ Dane (8 th grade boy) had shared with a friend and she trusted in Christ, then she then shared with Dane how her dad might be dying of cancer. Dane told her to share with her dad about Jesus. She did and he trusted in Christ too. Then on Monday Dane went to school and gave the Life in 6 words book to his friend to read during lunch. The boy only got through 5 pages, put the book down and said “Tell me what this means.” Dane explained and he trusted in Christ right there in the lunchroom at school. Another student Jackson (7 th grade) shared how his friend came to know Christ at D2S. Maxine shared about how her friend trusted in Christ, and that friend told her mom and she trusted in Christ.”
