Helping youth leaders and parents prepare high school juniors and seniors to be disciple-makers and start college with a missional team of other incoming students and leaders many months before college. The 70% faith drop-off reversed, campuses awakened, students prepared for the marketplace.
Barna Report - Vocational Discipleship
Barna believes this emphasis on careers presents an opportunity for the church to engage in what could be called “vocational discipleship”. The church has an opportunity to reach this next generation of teenagers through integrating career, and calling into their discipleship efforts.

Every Student Sent is a national movement and a free community-based platform to connect all US high school students to existing ministries, churches, and each other many months before college in order to propel them towards Gospel-centered mission as they navigate and engage culture. Churches and schools have seen this reverse the 70% college faith drop off, help students grow and engage campuses, then return at Christmas to energize youth groups . No longer do yo and parents have to see years of investment into students go down the drain. ESS also helps students with the Career Arc from high school to college to the workplace. See this call to action by Josh McDowell.

Career and Major Preparation
There is a continual arc starting from the selection of a major to fine tuning in college, to impacting culture in the workplace. See how each of these stages are helped with ESS resources. Students can join missional communities around their academic departments so they learn to impact culture in the professional world, then connected to workplace ministry partners.
AUTOMATICALLY INVITE YOUR STUDENTS
- Inviting Students to the Pastor Dashboard. Just follow these Directions. This will allow you to easily invite all your students by graduation year, and see their level of engagement at a glance with no additional work on your part. We recommend that you invite grades 10-12. See contact information at the bottom if you would like some help.
FURTHER WAYS TO BLESS STUDENTS AND YOUR CHURCH
- During Junior and Senior college search, encourage students to make ministry and church connections part of their selection criteria.
- As soon as final colleges are selected in the senior year, recommend students become an active member in ministry social groups at that university and team up with other incoming students, and collaborate how to reach their dorms during first weeks Sweet Spot.
- During Christmas break, invite your recent grads to share with your students about their first semester in college, and how helpful it was during the first weeks to already have friends, mentors, and study partners, and how they had seen students come to Christ and be transformed. Take the energy there and adopt a local high school in collaboration with our high school partners like Youth Alive, FCA, Cru High School, YFC, Young Life, etc.
