(The Daily Citizen) Groundwire is an evangelism ministry that works to reach youth and young adults with a message of hope, forgiveness and life found through a relationship with Jesus Christ. The organization has a unique outreach method to reach the younger generations – Millennials and Generation Z – using online advertising that touches the hearts of young people, who then contact the ministry and chat with volunteers about issues in their lives and about the Christian faith.
The ministry reports that in May alone, their online commercials were viewed almost 20 million times. That same month, Groundwire had almost 187,000 visits to its various websites, and 14,376 young people made a profession of faith, entering the kingdom of God.
We spoke recently with Sean Dunn, the founder and president of Groundwire. He told us that in 1997 he was a full-time evangelist, travelling the country and speaking to about 150,000 teens and young adults every year with the gospel message. While he was reaching many, he knew that there were 33 million teens in the U.S. – more than he could reach by himself.
