CHAMPION A DAY

CONTENDING FOR A GENERATION

"When Jesus saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”

Matthew 9:36-38

These verses describe so many in our world today, and we know that they are open to the Gospel in ways they never have been before! For 2024, Groundwire has been given a God-sized vision for of seeing at least ONE MILLION people profess faith in Jesus in the calendar year and we are as committed as ever to doing our part to be faithful workers in a fertile field.

OUR MISSION

To lead every youth and young adult into a personal relationship with Jesus by leveraging current media channels to connect with them wherever they are.

"I don't want to die... I just don't want to continue living like this."

"Does Jesus really love me? Because, sometimes it doesn't feel like he does."

"How is it possible that I am 27

years old and no one has ever told

me that God loves me?"

Generations Crying Out for Help

The younger generations (Millennial and Gen Z) are aimless, distracted, and confused. They are broken and lost. Jesus would classify them as "Harassed and hopeless, like sheep without a shepherd." (Matthew 9:35-38) Their crisis is real and it can be the doorway through which they will consider all Jesus offers.

71% are "absolutely certain" or "fairly certain" that God exists

68% believe in heaven

65% rarely or never attend church

39% have no religious affiliation

The suicide rate increased 56% between 2007 and 2017

65% would claim to be Christian

Less than 1 in 5 can tell you how to become one

Millennials are asking the question "Where can I find hope?", "Please tell me life will get better", and "What is my purpose?" Jesus needs to be at the center of those conversations. He can provide hope, perspective, purpose, and value. And only He can offer forgiveness and eternal life. Young people are drowning (and dying) in this culture that strips them of joy, peace, and direction. But if they are approached in the right way, with the right message, they are discovering that Jesus can answer all of life's meaningful questions.

Jesus is the Solution

Delivering salvation to crisis generations.

Approach

By understanding the emotional and spiritual condition of the younger generations, Groundwire is changing the way that they view God using a very specific and effective 5-step funnel serving both English and Spanish speakers.

INTERRUPT

Groundwire does not offer an invitation to church that may be ignored; instead, we interrupt them right on the smart phones they never put down.

COMMUNICATE

Through videos, our website, and 24-hour coaching, we communicate the Gospel in a relevant and authentic way.

COMMIT

In addition to listening, loving, and encouraging each one who visits one of our sites in English or Spanish, our goal is to lead each person toward a commitment to Christ.

EDUCATE

We offer tools to help New Believers grow vertically towards Christ and horizontally towards local community.

CONNECT

Finally, we work to bridge New Believers to a local community of believers where they can continue on their journey.

Results

Sean Dunn, the founder and President of Groundwire, has worked with youth and young adults full-time for over 30 years. He began serving in local church youth ministries, and in 1997, he began traveling full-time as a speaker and author. Although he was finding success through those outlets, he began to ask the question, “How do we reach the ones that don’t want to be reached? How do we influence the ones that aren’t asking the right questions and won’t come where we are?” After praying and studying trends and culture, the strategy for Groundwire was born.

Since 2003, Groundwire has been leveraging media and technology in order to share the love found in Jesus Christ with youth and young adults. By placing well-produced and relevant commercials on the social media sites where these generations spend so much time, we are able to share authentic hope with many who might not be ready to walk into a church.

Each commercial invites the viewer to have a conversation with “someone who understands”. Twenty-four hours a day, there are volunteer coaches online ready to listen, encourage, and point chatters to Jesus.

Scripture says that His kindness leads us to repentance but so many people don’t believe He is kind and loving. They see Jesus as angry and judgmental. By strategically putting the message that Jesus cares into these media channels, we are seeing hearts open to the truth of Jesus and we are seeing lives transformed.

In order to maximize our effectiveness, Groundwire uses multiple messaging campaigns or brands to help us reach more young people with the hope of Christ. We currently operate ad campaigns as JesusCares.com and WhenLifeHurts.com; in Spanish, as AJesusleImporta.com and CuandolaVidaDuele.com as well as seven other campaigns.
