Trusted data can help us understand the present and prepare for the future, especially when we study the young people who are poised to reshape the world.

That’s why Barna has partnered with a number of Christian organizations, including Alpha, Biblica, World Vision, Christian Vision, Bible Study Fellowship, Christ in Youth, and the Association of Christian Schools International.

The result is The Open Generation project—a first-of-its-kind international research study to help church leaders better understand teenagers around the world.

It’s the largest study Barna has ever conducted in its 38-year history, and we’ve divided our findings into a three-part series:

Vol. 1 — How Teens Around the World Relate to Jesus

Vol. 2 — How Teens Around the World View the Bible

Vol. 3 — How Teens Around the World Can Make an Impact

In this third and final volume, we explore how a famously activism-oriented generation perceives important matters of justice in the world—and how a relationship with Jesus and the Bible can impact this perspective. 

We also look at how leaders can ensure the passions and hopes of teens are not dashed but rather nurtured and supported biblically.

We hope this report will reveal to you, your organization or your ministry how you can meet the teens in your community where they are and invite them into a life of drawing closer to Jesus.
