Interactive Keynote: The Upturn

Saturday November 15, 2025 11:45am - 1:00pm GMT

This year's NYMW is all about the dream of growth in a time of decline, but what if that's more than a dream? What if there are genuine reasons to believe that God is on the move among young people in a new and significant way. If we really are seeing the surprising rebirth of belief in God, than what should we be doing as a result? In this whole-conference session, we'll explore the significant signs of an upturn in both interest in and commitment to faith, and invite you to think creatively and strategically about how you might respond.
