Description
God wants to use you to make an eternal difference in the lives of your friends.And there’s no better time than now. After age nineteen, the chance of your friends coming to Christ drops to 6 percent. That’s right: 6 percent. That means if anyone is going to help them discover a real relationship with the God who loves them, it will probably need to be you.If you’re like many Christians, you really want to share your faith, but you don’t know how. Just the thought might seem scary.You don’t have to act weird or become someone you’re not. What’s so cool is that God wants to use you the way you are—your interests, your personality, your strengths, and even some of your weaknesses. You’ll be amazed at how these are the very things the Holy Spirit can use to help you confidently relate to your friends and introduce them to Jesus Christ. Forget about long, boring lectures. The exciting sessions in this book are full of lively discussions, role playing, and all kinds of opportunities to interact with your group. You won’t just get to know your group members better, you’ll get to know yourself better, too. You’ll find out which of the six evangelism styles fits you. You’ll learn how to share your faith in a natural, authentic way with other students who need God’s love and truth. And you’ll discover the unbeatable joy of seeing people you care about become real followers of Christ! It’s designed to be most effective when used in conjunction with the Becoming a Contagious Christian Youth Edition Leader’s Guide as you use the Becoming a Contagious Christian Youth Edition evangelism course curriculum kit.
