Should you even try?

I rekon the easiest, but least reliable, way to measure is by counting numbers.

I rekon the most relible, but difficult, way to measure is by the growth of God’s kingdom as kids come to Christ and grow in Christ.

What do you think?

This article is based on some Barna research.

Our context in Australia is significantly different from the USA… but…

What gets your teens excited about God?

Maybe the more foundational question is:
ARE your teens excited about God?

What are the drop-off rates of teenagers from your church/ministry?
