"MISSION WORK 101" by Jennie Warkentine
YOUTH GROUP LESSON 80
SESSION OUTLINE
FOCUS:

Option #1: As students arrive, ask for volunteers for a role play. You will need two people—one to play the role of a Christian and one to be a non-believer. Give as much freedom as you know the youth can handle. If they need more structure, instruct the non- believer to give the Christian a hard time, or to just nod and smile. Tell the Christian to act as a friend talking to a long-time fiend, or as a Christian trying to evangelize someone they just met in a mall. There are many possibilities—don’t be limited by these ideas, but give the youth as much or as little guidance as needed. The point is to portray interaction between a Christian and a non-believer, and the Christian is sharing the Gospel with the non-believer.
Option #2: Have a variety of tracts and other materials used for evangelism available for students to look at when they arrive. If your church uses these kinds of resources, those would be the best. Once everyone has gathered, ask the students what they think of the tracts. This is a good time to let the students freely discuss and share their feelings.
Ask:
• Are these tracts effective?
• How would you feel if someone handed you a tract or shared these resources with you?
• Have you ever handed out tracts?
• How do you think non-believers would react to the information inside?
• Would it make a difference if the non-believer has never heard the Gospel?
• What if the non-believer has been raised in the church but turned away from God?
• What would your peers think if someone handed them a tract?
Don’t let these questions limit the discussion. Be flexible. Try to keep students thinking about sharing the Gospel and whether or not these tracts and resources would be an effective way for them to share the Gospel.
