American Leaders Urged to Respond to Battle Cry of Teens

The battle cry of teens has already stretched across America and now leaders ministering to the millennial generation are being called to hear the cry and respond at TeenMania's Leadership Summit.

|PIC1|Coming out of a BattleCry movement where tens of thousands of teens butted heads against today's popular culture, TeenMania is kicking off a series of Leadership Summits throughout the country on Aug. 1, giving a wake up call to the older generation.

Wake up to the needs in your community, said TeenMania founder Ron Luce, directing his message to senior pastors, youth leaders and elders. According to TeenMania, current trends are pointing to a decline in evangelicals to a projected 4 percent, which applies to the largest generation of teens in history.

Drugs, alcohol, suicide, and sex are only a few of the trends and imagery prevailing in the millennial generation today.

Luce urges leaders to give three hours to save this generation at the Leadership Summit. National leaders in the US holding the same sense of urgency to wake up to the cry of teens will coach summit attendants on how to rescue the beleaguered teens and educate parents about the reality of teenage America.

The Leadership Summit is part of a larger BattleCry plan - a movement that was launched earlier this year. BattleCry Stadium events drew tens of thousands of teens in three cities this year to join a countercultural movement. The BattleCry doesn't end there. TeenMania has formed a coalition with thousands of teens and youth leaders to keep teens ablaze in the cultural war and leaders equipped to reach the young generation.
