YTN is launching a thee year campaign called Crossing Thin Ice to change the nation's perspective related to the reasons young people become discouraged in life and in faith and to alter parent's vision for developing young people today. The cornerstones of the campaign are:

1. A large scale research into a wide variety of issues impacting teens today to provide statistical data which builds awareness and credibility for YTN. It is anticipated that over 400,000 parents will download the free research report developing a large contact list to promote the documentary.

2. A national documentary set to air on NRB a minimum of four times. This will take the research and provide parents answers from the Crossing Thin Ice conference that has been changing parents’ lives and transforming their relationship with their pre-teens and teens.

3. Six regional Crossing Thin Ice Conferences that will equip parents and create champions who will take YTN's resources and message back to their churches.

The national study will begin March 1st with phase one results being released April 15th and with the causal analysis being released May 15th. This will lead to the documentary airing in June and July with the regional conferences coming upon the heals of the documentary. It is anticipated by the CTI Executive team that the research and documentary will bring YTN to the point where its conferences and resource sales will make it self-sustaining, while deeply impacting the lives of parents and teens across the nation. If we have ever needed a generation that is raised up to change the nation just like Jesus did with His disciples, it is now! Help us change the nation's perspective!
