Okay, so lately we’ve been talking a lot about evangelism at church (who’da thunk!?) and I sense a lot of our youth getting very uncomfortable. Now, I remember feeling the exact same way when I was their age, and it still gets me sometimes. But as Christians, we are all called to evangelize. I mean…it’s kind of a big deal!
So we’ve got an event coming up that we are taking our Ecuador mission team to, called GameDay (by Dare2Share ministries). It’s basically a youth event all about evangelism training. I am really excited about it! I know our youth are going to learn so much, and I am glad that they are going – even despite much trepidation.
When I was in youth, I remember feeling a bit forlorn about how to “evangelize”…that word is just a little intimidating! And I don’t think I ever learned how to do it until I was in India.
Wait, what? India?
Yep. It wasn’t until I took a trip overseas with a program that trained me to evangelize that I realized how easy it could be! And I did it!
Hence my excitement for this training event. I think the youth will be surprised at how easy it can be to talk to their friends and family (and strangers even!) about the gospel.
Anyway, this post was supposed to just be me posting a link to a cool little blog I read about sharing the gospel through Natasha Bedingfield’s song, “Pocketful of Sunshine”**…but I can never just post a link, can I?
So, here it is!
