Across Canada, Gen Z is searching for purpose, truth, and belonging. Through HowToLife, we’re seeing students step into that search with faith! Sharing the Gospel with their friends, hosting outreach events in their cities, and creating spaces where their generation can encounter Jesus. Our mission is simple: Disciple, and Mobilize students to reach their friends. Instead of adults running events for young people, we equip Gen Z leaders to lead the movement themselves in their communities.
But this generation is facing real challenges. My generation is navigating rising loneliness, and a culture that often pushes faith to the margins. Across Canada, there are thousands of students who have never heard the Gospel in a way that connects with their world. The need for young leaders who are equipped, supported, and sent is great.
This is where HowToLife steps in. Through leadership training, retreats, and student-led outreach events, we’re equipping young leaders across Canada to share their faith in authentic and creative ways. Already this year we have trained new leaders and watched students begin planning Gospel-centered events in their cities. But to continue growing this movement and supporting the students stepping up to lead, we need partners who believe in this mission.
Your support helps train young leaders, resource student-led events, and create spaces where students encounter Jesus. Would you prayerfully consider partnering with me financially to help reach Gen Z across Canada? Every gift—whether monthly or one-time helps empower students to share the Gospel with their generation
Together, we can see a generation encounter Jesus.
