Gen Z

gen z for Jesus

"Let's be that generation, starting a revolution stronger than the transgender and LGBTQ movements – a generation that's filled with a fire stronger than lust, the internet, iPhones, and addictions of the heart." -Lou Engle

Gen Z represents 70 million people in America.

And spiritually, it is the first fully post-Christian generation in America. 

  • Only one in five teenagers are actively interested in attending church.
  • 60% of Gen Z reject the notion of a single true religion, two thirds reject the idea that Jesus is the Son of God.
  • Otis reports that 48% of Gen Z identify as exclusively heterosexual, so a majority are either unsure of their sexual orientation or are part of the LGBTQ community.
  • It is also a fully digital generation that uses media on average 13 hours a day. It’s not just an addiction, it’s a way of life.
The future of America depends on a historic outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the youth of our nation.

In 1 Samuel Chapter 1 we find Hannah, barren, praying for a son. She is in such agony and fervency that Eli the priest thinks she is drunk.

We know that God gave her Samuel, who became the prophet in his generation, and that Hannah’s prayer wasn’t just about her own barrenness, but also about Israel’s barrenness. Hannah entered into something greater, not just for her own child, but something for her nation. 

This is the wine of Hannah that God wants to give us, whatever our age.

Gathering together in prayer embraces the intercessory burden of Jesus for a historic move of God in this next generation.  This is a turn signal, coming to us from heaven to make intercession for this generation, and to say,  “Whatever it takes, I’m in. I’m getting off of the bench.” -David Bradshaw

Will you say...

Whatever it takes, I'm in. I'm getting off of the bench.

Maybe you don’t have children, maybe you’re not married, but you can still contend for the sons and daughters, for Gen Z, and our nation.

This is not about hopeless depression because of statistics, it is about a God who steps in – even in the darkest moments.

So often we focus on issues, events, and prayer topics (most of which are important!) but every prayer of the New Testament was for people.

Where is the prayer of Hannah for our sons and daughters in our prayer movements, calls, and emails?

Where are the moms and dads crying, “Give me my children!” Where is the wine of Hannah?

Help us run this race to see the heart of a generation awakened to a love that is better than wine.

For those of us who are older, no one is disqualified! Our job is to be relationally present, willing to listen, and enter into God’s heart for them in prayer.
