Ongoing Resources to Engage Students in Poverty, AIDS, and World Justice

The goal of Vision Generation is to offer brief content-focused teaching, worship, and service ideas to engage students in AIDS, poverty, hunger, and justice issues both locally and globally. Believing that concern and action toward the poor and against injustice in the world cannot be infused in kids through one-time service events, teaching series or mission trips, Vision Generation equips youth workers for ongoing engagement. We’ve heard from dozens of youth workers that growing kingdom compassion in students’ lives takes an entire worldview overhaul. Let’s be honest: worldviews aren’t changed in a few weeks.

Vision Generation is designed for the integrated youth worker who wants to incorporate teaching and worship related to poverty, AIDS, hunger and justice issues throughout the year. We hope you are able to utilize these resources for a more holistic approach to growing students’ understanding of God’s heart for those hurting and dying around the world.

Martin Luther King, Jr. once noted, “One of the great liabilities of life is that all too many people find themselves living amid a great period of social change, and yet they fail to develop the new attitudes, the new mental responses, that the new situation desires. They end up sleeping through a revolution” (from A Knock at Midnight).

Let’s not find ourselves asleep during the kingdom revolution God is birthing amid the global crises of AIDS and desperate poverty.
