Millennials are often perceived as a generation concerned only on trivial things, such as gadgets, entertainment and romantic relationships. However, two youth pastors from Greg Laurie's Harvest Christian Fellowship are out to show that millennials also care about their faith and spreading God's love to others.

These two young pastors, Brady Collins and Jason Powell, recently took part in leading over 11,000 faithful, including their fellow millennials, in receiving Christ or recommitting themselves to Christ in the Diamond Club at Anaheim's Angel Stadium in Southern California.

Powell said he is actively participating in events showcasing the Christian faith to prove to the world that the younger generation is still eager to follow Christ.

"The first thing is, I need to knock down a misconception, and [that] is these young millennials are absent from the scene, disinterested, disconnected from what's happening and really disengaged from what God wants to do. I think it's just the opposite," Powell told The Christian Post.

Before the event, Powell also served as leader to young students who share the Holy Gospel on the streets, as part of the evangelism strategy of the Harvest Church.

The young Christian pastor also urged others to go beyond the perception that millennials are only concerned with themselves.

"If we get away from the fake, the facade, the apparent mask of things and go to the real authentic — you know, there is a mission at hand — a down-to-earth real cause for the gospel, I think these young people rise to the occasion every single time," Powell continued.

Collins, for his part, recalled the Parable of the Sower told by Jesus Christ in the Holy Bible to explain his mission.

"Our job is to cast that seed, so when we cast that seed, it is the Holy Spirit who does the work," he said, adding that millennials "love the Church."
