Gen Z gets a lot of labels. But here is one they might not expect: the next generation of missionaries.
Nearly half the world’s population is under 30. In the Global South, young people make up the largest demographic of every unreached people group. The future of the mission field is young, and so are the people God is calling to reach it.
Gen Z is culturally diverse, globally aware, adaptable, and collaborative. They grew up crossing cultural lines and navigating complexity. Those are not just personality traits. They are exactly what the mission field requires.
If you are part of Gen Z and you have ever sensed a pull toward something bigger — this might be why. The world needs missionaries who look like the world they are going to reach.
