It’s critical to our vision — understanding our mission field and the global youth culture
are keys to seeing every child and youth meaningfully engaged with the Gospel.

Thus we’ve created a multi-nation research project which provides an understanding of
the heart-felt needs of the next generation, to help in developing programs which will
effectively engage the children and youth with God’s Word, and deliver the salvation
story to them.

The Spiritual State of the World’s Children research project has been conducted in
more than 92 nations on 5 continents. By the end of 2011, we will have completed 62
projects in 49 nations.

The research contains a quantitative survey called Attitudes & Behavior of Youth in
which the young people themselves respond to direct questions, and also a Custom
Discovery Research portion which uses qualitative information like interviews and focus
groups for more specialized information on a particular area, subject or age group.

OneHope’s heart is to share the in-depth information we’ve discovered with churches
and ministries who share our vision for effectively reaching the next generation with the
biblical truth and hope for eternity.
