So I’m a Christian, now what?
That is what our series has been for the past several weeks. We have talked about baptism, communion, worship, prayer, reading the Bible, the Holy Spirit, and witnessing. Last week was about witnessing and the students were fired up and excited. I’m serious. They were shouting and wanting to get out and do it.
This week I brought them into the main service and quickly went through the past several weeks for everyone so the “adults” would be caught up. Then I asked the students to get into small groups with the adults. Roughly 2 students and 2 adults. Then I had the students and adults share what God has been doing for them. I challenged them to share something that they were really excited about and work towards sharing their story (testimony). I also had the adults share with the students.
Many of the students were really nervous about it, but after they were all very positive. I haven’t received much feedback from the adults, but at least half the students told me tonight they want to do this every month. They talked about how much it helped to share with the adults and for the adults to actually listen and interact. They also told me they loved hearing the adults share with them.

Waiting on Katdish for a clever title
I honestly loved it. We should do that at least once a month! It’s nice to talk to the adults! They give great advice 🙂 but yea I enjoyed it alot. So two thumbs up o| |o
That is actually quite cool. (Do the kids still say cool? I do.)
Must suggest something like that to my church.
My best guess is that the lack of feedback from the adults is that they’re still pondering – and feeling a little vulnerable. That’s a good thing and a God thing. Hope you stick with it.
First of all, that was sort of a shock that you and I basically used the same titles today.
I think the idea is great! And I love that “your” kids are getting all pumped up about it. Clearly, you’re showing them God.
And I love that.
