Creative Ideas for Frontline Evangelism

Book excerpt: Young people can seem so worldly, cynical, resistant to traditional forms of evangelism, yet they have enormous capacity for the spiritual, an openness to faith and the imagination to approach God with awe and wonder. A majority of young people have no contact with the life of faith; they have not heard the stories of Christ and or had the opportunity to experience the powerful message of the Gospel. How can the church to proclaim the Gospel afresh for this generation with imagination, style and substance? This resource book is brimming with stories, techniques and ideas for creative mission and worship that engages children and young people. Based on extensive experience working with young people in churches, schools and youthwork settings, this is a toolkit which can help give voice to that first point of contact with young people, and the first faltering steps in evangelism.
