(Worthy News) – The major US music ministry Winter Jam has seen over 34,000 professions of faith in Christ from young people in America this year alone, Christian Headlines (CH) reports.
A Gospel-based multi-city concert tour which counts popular Christian artists in its lineups, Winter Jam aims to share the love of Christ and encourage the faithful through easily affordable concerts at which the Gospel message is given half-way. This year’s tour saw some 34,500 professions of faith from young people who gave their information in online forms and were then paired up with a church, CH reports.
Tour pastor Zane Black said in an interview with Crosswalk that young people of Generation Z (those born between 1996-2010) are “hungry for what’s real.”
“They are inundated with the counterfeit — whatever is edited, cropped, filtered.The digital age has pushed them so far into the world of AI that they long for something real,” Black noted.
“And so I think we have an opportunity within the church to present authentic, real truth in an age of [the] artificial and skeptic,” Black added. “There is a real God. There’s a Book that is true. And there’s a love that is life-changing, that’s tangible.”
Furthermore, Generation Z Christians are “on fire,” Black attested. “There’s so many who are excited about sharing the life of Christ with their friends.”
