Mission Path is a non-profit that exists to reach the next generation with the gospel and to equip them to evangelize to a lost world.
We do this by reaching Gen Z online with gospel proclamation, connecting returning viewers to believers in an online community, and training those viewers towards real-world evangelism. This funnel starts on YouTube with Revival Maps.
