Why do so many young people give up on God?
By Gavin Calver

“It breaks my heart to think how many of my friends got lost along the way. Of a group of 10 to 15 people, only one other person and myself are still going for God. Those who packed it in claimed to be disappointed with Jesus. Really they were disappointed with church.”

As Gavin Calver had to discover, you can’t survive on inherited faith. He found it tough to be the son of a preacher man. Conscious of the eyes and expectations upon him, he got thrown out of Sunday school, slunk off to smoke in the car park during sermons and eventually abandoned church entirely in favour of Wimbledon Football Club, girls and alcohol.

Today, Gavin is the National Director of Youth for Christ, where he is hoping to help reverse this trend.
