Youth ministry is a process not only sharing Jesus with teenagers, but knowing how best to communicate with them, learning how to support parents as they raise their children, and different tips to help support children and keep them safe.

We want to help you with these teen mobile phone stats.

We have some stats on the current process of marketing, where it came from, and where it is heading. A great resource for churches who want to take the next step.

How cool would that be if churches decided to jump on board too?
