ShareHim for Pastors & Young Adults: Columbia
Pastors, inspire the next generation.
Bring your young adults on a ShareHim trip.
The Goal
Develop in your young adults (age 18-35) a passion for sharing the gospel and a mentoring relationship with you, their pastor, leading to greater involvement in ministry and leadership back at home.
How It Works
A ShareHim trip is more like a visit with church family than a mission trip, as local church members graciously invite us to join them in their ongoing evangelistic ministry.
Each participant—including you—is assigned to a local church and preaches an 11-part evangelistic series in English or Spanish using customizable ShareHim sermons, no preaching experience required.
On The Trip
Each trip will have 13 to 15 participants, with 3 or 4 pastors from different conferences each bringing a few young adults. Note that all young adults must come with their pastor.
Your group and the others on the trip will stay at the same hotel and meet each day to pray, share reports, and practice your sermons under the leadership of a trusted ShareHim trip manager.
At the end of the trip, you’ll spend a day or two in recreation, sightseeing, and recommitment to sharing the gospel back at home.
