Research and Training
Global Youth Culture
Global Youth Culture is a OneHope research study covering the trends and behaviors of today’s teenagers, the most connected generation. With these findings, we can recognize similarities between young people from different regions of the world. Do teenagers in Africa have similar views on identity as those in Asia? Are religious practices of the next generation in Eurasia and North America trending the same? Global Youth Culture provides a clear picture of these issues and additional diverse topics.
We believe this study is the most comprehensive of its kind in the world in terms of taking a deep look at the faith of teenagers globally. Now, equipped with relevant research on young people globally, the Church, leaders, and parents, can minister and mentor the next generation more effectively.

God's Big Story
The God's Big Story program is a unique tool created by OneHope that helps primary school-age children learn Bible stories and uncover the underlying message of redemption and restoration, even if they can’t read or write. God's Big Story, often known on the field as 17 Stories, was originally developed for Ghana in 2010. The program is designed for children ages 6-12 in areas where literacy rates are low and/or storytelling is an effective medium for presenting Bible stories.
Youth Ministry 101
Youth Ministry 101 (YM 101) is OneHope’s response to the Church’s expressed need for better training resources for ministry to teens. YM 101 walks participants through the importance of engaging youth with their faith during this critical life stage and how to do so effectively. The training is based on current research and incorporates the best of OneHope’s learnings and our passion for seeing the lives of teens transformed by God’s Word. YM 101 is being used around the globe to elevate the level of youth ministry within the Church, and to equip ministry workers with the skills and strategies they need to fulfill their God-given calling.
