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!

The Life in 6 Words Outreach BookSlide11
“These books are great for getting teens to share their faith. The books are CONCISE enough to keep a teen's attention, COMPLETE enough to fully explain the whole story of the gospel and COOL enough for my teenagers to unashamedly pass them on to their friends.”

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.”Slide16
