Key Takeaways

Gen Z is globally connected, culturally intelligent, and ready for responsibility—but they seek authentic relationships and mentorship more than just resources.
Africa is a young, growing, and mobilizing continent—home to spontaneous, lay-led gospel movements that are bringing the good news across borders, cultures, and languages.
The Sahel region is one of the most unreached and unstable areas in the world, yet the local Church is proximate and positioned to lead in mission with the right support.
Digital discipleship and online community can be powerful when combined with in-person, embodied ministry. Both are essential in today’s mission field.
Collaboration across generations and continents is key to sustaining momentum in global mission—especially in urban, multilingual, and multi-faith contexts.

Watch now to be inspired by stories of mission innovation—and challenged to play your part in reaching the least-reached peoples of the world.
