Convos is an app created by Christ in Youth to help small groups have meaningful in-person conversations. Rather than having one person lead the conversation from list of questions, Convos gets the entire group engaged through games, videos, polls, and open-ended questions. By passing the device around, everyone in the group gets a chance to lead and participate in the conversation, resulting in more engagement, better comprehension, and lasting memories.

- Student-initiated prayer gatherings
- Global movement support

Adults often pray in support of the students on campus by gathering nearby, at their places of work or worship, or at city halls.
