During
September and October, our youth group has been studying and practicing evangelism:
sharing our faith in Jesus Christ with others.
Using the evangelism basic training course developed by Living Waters,
we have studied Scripture to learn how Jesus presented the Gospel to others,
memorized Bible verses to use in evangelism, recited the Ten Commandments of
God’s law, watched video examples of conversations about
the faith, and practiced
evangelizing in partners.
Each week we
give 10 gospel tracts (o pamphlets) to each youth to distribute during the
week- either among family, at school, or on the street. They even ask us for more each
week!
One
Saturday, we walked around town as a group distributing tracts and talking
about Jesus. By God’s grace, one couple
recognized they needed Jesus as their Savior, and even asked where they
could
attend church and learn more. The very
next day, Paco and I picked them up to take them to Sunday service with
us. What a blessing from the Lord that
the youth could see fruit of their evangelism efforts our first day giving our tracts!
Paco and I
have loved the course! We have already seen a new perspective in the youth
since starting the study. In the process
of learning to share their faith with others, the youth have understood at a
whole new level why they themselves need a Savior and
follow Jesus- affirming
their own faith.
