EVENTS

Young People Reaching Young People

HowToLife events help young people reach, disciple, and mobilize their peers for Christ in their own communities.

Young people don’t just attend HowToLife events – they help lead them.

Local young Christians pray, build a team, invite their friends, share their stories of what Jesus has done in their lives, and boldly proclaim the Gospel to their generation. HowToLife missionaries and leaders come alongside them with coaching, training, and support throughout the process.

What Happens at a HowToLife Event?

Every community looks different, but the heart remains simple: young people reaching young people with the Good News of Jesus.

Events may include worship, testimonies and creative elements, prayer, and a clear presentation of the Gospel. Young people are invited to respond to Jesus – turning from sin, putting their trust in Him, and following Him as King.

The events themselves matter deeply. But so does the process of getting there.

As young Christians pray, plan, invite, serve, and share Christ together, they are being discipled through actually doing mission.

How Does an Event Get Started?

HowToLife connects with young Christians who have a heart to reach their peers – often through relationships, social media, local churches, or ministry leaders.

After identifying a strong local leader, HowToLife helps them:

Build a team of young Christians
Pray and plan together
Connect with local churches and ministry leaders
Raise local support
Invite their friends and peers
Prepare testimonies and other elements of the event
Learn to clearly share the Gospel
Develop a plan for follow-up

The young people themselves carry meaningful responsibility throughout the process. Our goal isn’t simply to put on an event for young people. We want to equip young people to participate personally in Christ’s mission.

What Happens Afterward?

Follow-up is part of the plan from the beginning.

HowToLife works with local leaders and churches to connect with those who respond to the Gospel, encourage their next steps in following Jesus, and help connect them into ongoing Christian community.

Local team members are also encouraged to personally follow up with the friends they invited.

And increasingly, the event doesn’t have to be the end of the local HowToLife story. Event teams can continue growing together through HowToLife Discipleship Communities, future outreach, retreats, service, and mission.

What Does a Typical Event Look Like?

A typical HowToLife event gathers around 150–200 young people, although events range from smaller local gatherings to significantly larger campaigns.
