On Nov. 9, Dare 2 Share LIVE will kick off a powerful event, mobilizing teens from around the world to share the gospel. This free event, designed by Dare 2 Share Ministries, is led by its founder and president, Greg Stier, who has devoted his life to empowering young people to embrace and spread the good news of Jesus Christ.
“We’re super excited about Dare 2 Share LIVE,” Stier told ChurchLeaders. “This is a day of Global Youth Evangelism, where teens from around the world are going to be equipped and inspired to share the gospel and actually mobilized to go out and share the gospel of Christ.”
Stier described the event as “three hours of inspiration,” during which attendees will hear not only from Stier but also from Jerrod Gunter, Callum Thomas from Australia, and Winter Jam tour pastor and evangelist Zane Black.
Dare 2 Share LIVE is more than just a conference. It’s an experience of immersion and activation. In the first session, teens are challenged to explore the gospel message and respond personally.
In the next session, attendees receive practical training on how to start conversations about faith, role-play in their auditoriums, and prepare to take the gospel to their communities.
Then these young evangelists are encouraged to venture into their neighborhoods to pray for and reach out to others with the gospel message. Teens will then regather to share stories of what happened on the outreach before the event finishes with a time of prayer and commissioning.

This event is designed to be accessible to youth groups worldwide, regardless of budget. Stier said, “We made it free because youth leaders, honestly, around the world, and even in the U.S., don’t have a lot of budget, and whatever budget they have is usually used on curriculum and camp.”
“So we wanted to make this available free of charge but with a high, high quality event to mobilize students,” he added.
When asked about the role of youth evangelism in discipleship, Stier explained the significance of engaging teens in gospel outreach from an early age. “A lot of people are talking about discipleship,” he said, “but not a lot are talking about biblical discipleship. Jesus said, ‘Follow me, and I’ll make you fishers of men.’”
Stier believes that evangelism is integral to discipleship. That’s why he puts young people in situations where they must rely on the Holy Spirit, articulate the core beliefs of their faith, and face challenging questions.
Stier shared that he has observed that the church has “lost the link between evangelism and discipleship.” He explained, “Because the number one question I get from people is, ‘What about discipleship?’”
