Evangelizing Millennials: Studying Millennials to Understand How Relationships through Friendship Evangelism are the Best Way to Bring the Gospel to Their Culture

Abstract

If you look online, in a library, even on a newsfeed, you’ll very easily find resources that are dedicated to studies of the current millennial generation. Millennials are a hot topic of study right now as they become an area of concern for organizations, marketing specialists and others. But millennials are such an area of interest because the culture in which they have evolved makes them different from generations before them. That includes being religiously different. The paradigm of culture that surrounds them makes them an important topic of study for the church as much as it does for secular organizations, because the millennials are leaving our pews empty. The purpose of this paper is to look at different studies concerning millennials to show that friendship evangelism based on relationships is the best way to bring them the gospel.
