As you know, Millennials are now the largest generation in the history of the United States – even bigger than the Boomers.  They are also rapidly growing in influence and starting to provide leadership in society, business, and, yes, even in many churches.  Are we ready in church and associational life to reach the lost, to disciple the saved, and to assist and mentor them to be leaders?  If not, we need to be.
 
Here are some helps for us to better understand, connect with, disciple, and deploy millennials.

To the praise of His glory,

Pr. 3:5-6
 
Quotable Quote: “Give young men what they need in the context of what they want… Two of the biggest felt needs I have seen in men's lives are the need to belong and to be good at something--community and competency.” Brett Clemmer: No Young Man Left Behind: Reaching Millennials
