Dare 2 Share

What Dare 2 Share does

Dare 2 Share Ministries is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in Littleton, Colorado, founded in 1991 by Greg Stier and Jonathan Smith to train middle and high school students in Christian evangelism and equip adult youth leaders with curriculum and event-based programming. The organization's core offering is the Gospel Advancing framework — a methodology drawn from Acts 1-12 centered on seven biblical values and a six-step G.O.S.P.E.L. acrostic (God created us, Our sins separate us, Sins cannot be removed by good deeds, Paying the price Jesus died and rose again, Everyone who trusts in him alone has eternal life, Life with Jesus starts now and lasts forever) that is operationalized across curriculum, training events, and a multilingual mobile app (Life in 6 Words) available in 25+ languages.

The product portfolio spans in-person flagship events (Lead THE Cause summer intensive, Energize Youth Ministry Conference launching April 2026, annual Gospel Advancing Summit), global digital activations (Day of Global Youth Evangelism, held the second Saturday of November, and Dare 2 Share LIVE simulcast), downloadable curriculum and books (free resources plus paid titles such as Gospelize Your Youth Ministry and Radical Like Jesus), interactive webinars, a monthly podcast (Greg Stier Youth Ministry Podcast), and two mobile applications (Life in 6 Words and the Gospel Advancing Ministry App with a diagnostic assessment). Distribution is direct through the organization's website store, event registration portals, and app stores, with strategic partners (NXT Move, Word of Life, Gospel Movement, Capernwray, Campus Alliance, GLS Next Gen) amplifying reach.

Revenue is generated primarily through donations and ministry partner contributions, supplemented by paid event registrations, paid curriculum and book sales, and a freemium distribution model in which the bulk of curriculum, ebooks, and the mobile app are free. The ministry reports reaching 6,613,364 leaders and students annually across 90%+ of the world's countries, with a network of 34,000+ Gospel Advancing leaders worldwide and 182,500+ teens mobilized across 110 countries for the 2025 Day of Global Youth Evangelism. Governance is provided by a board chaired by a retired Emerson Electric executive, with financial leadership from a retired Vail Resorts CFO, suggesting institutional nonprofit maturity.
