Sharing faith for many teenagers is an overwhelming and scary prospect. Outreach is limited to inviting their friends to a fun event once a year, maybe less.
Real Conversations, a four-session, video-based study, Jonathan McKee ignites the passion of Christian teenagers to live authentic lives and provides the tools to reach out to their friends in ways that won’t make them break out in a cold sweat! In this dynamic study, students will discover the secret to sharing in a comfortable, natural way the reason for the hope that’s within them.

Sharing Your Faith Without An Argument: 
This method of evangelism was pioneered by Bill Fay. He now calls it: Share Jesus Without Fear. I teach this method of evangelism to the kids because it’s very easy. Almost every time I teach it someone in the class surrenders their life to Jesus for the first time. We usually experience a jump in attendance as kids begin sharing and inviting their friends to the group. I suggest purchasing a quantity of the Bible shown in the right column for the kids to use as sharing Bibles.

I have tried to get permission to use the same title but no one ever calls me back -so here it is until someone asks me to stop.
Here is a link to Bill Fay’s website: click here He is available for speaking engagements for very reasonable costs.

Note: Of course this isn’t the only method of sharing your faith, but it’s one way, and it works. Different people have different sharing styles.

Becoming a Contagious Christian
This is a great course for teaching your whole church how to share their faith. I have taught it several times and someone comes to Christ in every class. I have also used this method successfully. It has just become part of my life. There are many methods of teaching this course. I have done it as a Saturday event, a weekly small group, and a weekend retreat. It is easily adaptable and the video tape makes sure the teaching is top notch.

Becoming a Contagious Christian Youth Edition Student’s Guide
Christ urged his disciples to focus on the unsaved, not keeping the existing disciples happy and content. While those things should come with any successful outreach, modern-day preservation techniques can sometimes crowd out the Great Commission’s mandate. The system (from the book by Bill Hybels and Mark Mittelberg has been completely re-envisioned for young people by Bo Boshers and offers Christians a hands-on way of developing their own style of evangelism. Becoming a Contagious Christian youth edition curriculum works with any size group and can be presented successfully in many formats. This is the participant’s guide.
