"the Gap Generation"

It's the largest population of people in the United States.  An age group that's the bread and butter of most pillars of society.  Most athletes, singers, and artists are in "the Gap".

"the Gap" is a generation that doesn't know how it "used to be",  doesn't like how "it is", but knows how it "should be".

We are starting families, starting businesses, and shaping culture on a daily basis.  Also, we are a group of people who have moved from one phase of life but are not necessarily used to this current phase of life.

"The Gap" generation is the most unreached age group by most churches, religions, and faith based groups, but in my opinion, the one's who need the most spiritual guidance.  But why is this?  How is it that the largest population of people, who are some of the most innovative, creative, and influential people in the world, be the most overlooked by spiritual guidance?

I think that as a whole, we have been turned off by religion and have seen the many inconsistencies of church as we know it.  Also, when we became adults, moved out of our parents houses, and started making decisions for ourselves, we were so tired of all the rules and regulations, seemingly attempted mind control, and simply things that didn't make any sense, that we never returned to the religions that we left.

Another thing is, most churches and religious organizations have a youth ministry or teen group, but when teens turn 18, they often go into adulthood with no spiritual direction from the church.  So you go from a teen group, then are faced with the "adult world" with little "adult spiritual direction".

This is why I call it "the Gap".  If you walk in most churches and religious organizations, you will see youth, who are mostly forced to come by their parents, and people who are usually 35 and older; who have made their mistakes in life, and decided that they can't make it on their own.  Then you have this huge gap in age. Sure you have some young adults in the "house", but many times they feel like outcasts and long for things that are relevant to their everyday lives.

I see some really awesome young adult groups here and there, and wish there were more outlets for this age group.

I am passionate about reaching the 18-35 age group, and providing spiritual guidance and knowledge of The Kingdom of God.  Like the bible says, "the harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few".  If we are going to reach "us", then it's going to be up to us.  Let's use this desire and passion we have to plant groups to reach this generation around the world.
