Summary

Mr and Mrs Crawfield are in business since 1990. After they got married in 1989, the couple faced financial hardships as they both lost their jobs due to the sudden death of their dear boss. The printing company in which they were working had to shut down given that their boss did not have any heirs to take over the business.
The Crawfields were also expecting their first baby during this difficult period. Then, one day the young and expectant woman got a fantastic idea as a godsend. Their baby girl came in the world in April 1990 and a month later, the young parents set up a charity business called ‘Our doors are opened for you’, with the support of other organisations in their suburb. They finally succeeded in establishing their family small enterprise to where it is today. It is managed with much pride by mum, dad and their lovely daughter Millie.
Chapter 1

December 1990 – Magic is in the air
It’s 7.30 on a sunny morning of the first week of December in the Pacific Ocean. Little Millie is now 9 months old and is being more and more playful. She is such an adorable and irresistible child loved by everyone in her surroundings. Mum and dad are so lucky to be gifted by angel Millie.
The Crawfield couple's business is flourishing more than ever now with Christmas around the corner. Their little shop was fully stocked with crafted Christmas presents and decorations from their local suppliers but Mrs. Crawfield doesn’t want commercial puddings and gingerbread for her shop. ‘Darling we need to do this for our church and our supportive community’ she told her husband.

Faithful Futures - Sacred Tools...

Josh Packard

Research-based strategies for Christian leaders to engage Gen Z and Gen Alpha 
 
In a world where young people are increasingly disconnected from traditional religious institutions and influenced by social media, church leaders face an urgent challenge: how to authentically engage Gen Z and Gen Alpha in meaningful faith conversations. Faithful Futures offers a research-based lifeline with practical tools and strategies designed specifically for connecting with younger generations in today's rapidly changing cultural landscape. 
 
This actionable resource provides church leaders with 
 
● research-based insights - fresh data on Gen Z and Gen Alpha faith patterns, digital behaviors, and cultural values; 
● practical ministry strategies - proven methods for building trust and fostering belonging; 
● digital-age tools - effective approaches for engaging youth who grew up online and think in micronarratives; 
● relationship-building frameworks - how to establish relational authority and create authentic connections with younger generations; and 
● ready-to-use resources - exercises, charts, tables, and discussion questions. 
 
Traditional youth ministry approaches are often outdated and ineffective for digital natives who grew up online. Sociologist Josh Packard advocates a revolutionary approach that emphasizes relational authority, cultivates genuine belonging, and understands faith as an ongoing conversation rather than a one-time decision. 
 
Drawing on fresh data, innovative practices, and more than twenty years of sociological experience, this comprehensive guide equips religious leaders to understand and engage younger generations authentically. It translates complex concepts into practical strategies, addressing the unique cultural and digital landscapes of today's youth and offering new ways to resonate with their realities. 
 
Whether you're a senior pastor, youth minister, church staff member, or volunteer leader, this book provides the research-backed tools you need to build meaningful relationships with Gen Z and Gen Alpha.
