Catching the Wave

After years of church decline, something is happening in the UK—interest in spirituality among young people is rising significantly. This presents the church with a tremendous opportunity. The harvest is plentiful, but are we ready to gather it in? Are our churches equipped to share the good news of the gospel with this spiritually hungry generation?

Drawing on his experience as the National Director of British Youth for Christ, Neil O’Boyle encourages you to seize this moment of spiritual openness as he…

• Shares inspiring stories about youth workers and youth
• Offers insights from statistics, research and experience
• Suggests practical ideas you can adapt to your context
• Equips you to communicate with young people and care well for them in the social issues they face

Through O’Boyle’s emphasis on prayer and self-reflection, you’ll find yourself anchored in a sense of God’s power as you seek to participate in God’s exciting work among the younger generations.

Neil O’Boyle has spent more than three decades walking alongside young people and church communities in the UK and around the world. His heart is to see the church live out an invitational and missional culture, where both churched and unchurched young people encounter Jesus in everyday life. As National Director of Youth for Christ Britain, Neil has championed evangelism and discipleship that are rooted in Scripture, Spirit-led and shaped by real cultural understanding.
