Born between 1945 and 1964 (2). They are considered to be in the middle adult category, aged between 24 and 50. Often described as a generation that refuses to "grow up". Still others describe them as the generation that changed the world in this century. Their acceptance of the Gospel and sharing of it make them a fertile field for evangelization. Often called “Millennials,” their “practice” of evangelism is on the rise. Over a 3-year period from 2010 to 2013, millennials experienced a +9% increase compared to other age groups in the same survey period. (from 57% to 65%). This is in many ways attributed to the fact that Boomers are very family oriented and orient their lives towards social governance and education, bonds and brotherhood. Effective evangelism in today's church must cut across age groups and social lines, as well as economic wage differences by household. The appeal of the gospel in today's church has a lot to do with presentation and communication. Individual and corporate testimony. The most unreached Americans are young Millennials. It is therefore not surprising that youth ministry is a priority for many churches. Six in 10 senior pastors (61%) say youth ministry is “one of the top priorities” of their church's ministry, and 7% say it is the top priority. However, despite a clear majority, a third of pastors (32%) say it is somewhat, not too much, or not at all a priority.
