Impressing young leaders and teens isn’t always easy to do in a digital age, but bringing excitement to youth ministry training is critical to inspiring them to go back to their community to share the same messages of faith. Dare 2 Share’s goal is to provide the tools and resources to help young leaders gain important training to allow them to inspire others.
The organization, which has served the country with youth pastor resources for 25 years, plans a large-scale, 5-city summer intensive in Discipleship training each year. Their ongoing challenge is to support and connect with these young leaders to promote their faith. Dare 2 Share works to reach these teens, who are seeking out support, in a fun and energy-filled environment.
Modern-day marketing and traditional messages don’t always resonate with teens who are so inundated with messages from social media. Dare 2 Share’s event helps to bring back some of the charm and energy that the ministry is supposed to bring to communities. And that means coming up with creative and innovative ways to reach their audience.
The Dare 2 Share Ministries five-city event (called “THE Cause”), is an exciting opportunity for youth leaders to challenge their faith and develop strong leadership skills. It’s hard work, but essential work to help foster a passion to share their beliefs and faith with others. Making it fun and vibrant is one way to do that.
That’s why they needed a larger-than-life way to bring their message forward. And, in doing so, they turned to Cardboard Cutout Standees to find a way to capture the spirit of their event in a big way. They had success with it the entire time!
Why did you purchase our cardboard cutouts? Tell us the story!
Dare 2 Share Ministries hosts a summer intensive Discipleship training across 5 cities in the United States. We always try to make the theme and stage design fun and energetic for our young audience.
