A Positive Perspective on Millennials and Gen Z!

With all the negative stats and talk about the loss of 18-29 year olds in the church, here are some encouraging thoughts on those who remained plugged into the church. Through all the excellent research that Barna Group has conducted, this book brings to light what makes young people remain in the church. I highly recommend anyone working in college/singles ministry to grab a copy and dig into it. This book provides valuable insight into the why but also offers extremely practical ideas on keeping these young people plugged in, helping them grow in their relationship with Jesus, and in turn developing more young people to get plugged into the church and grow. You can grab a copy at Christianbook.com
or Amazon

There are various ways to communicate the Gospel to people. There is not a set 1-2-3 method. We will walk through one method that has proven to be extremely effective and easy to remember. After we ask our spiritual discovery question of, "If you died today, where would you go?” typical responses will be something like: “I hope Heaven.” “I think Heaven.” “I’m not really sure.” “Can I really know?” “You can’t really be sure.” From there you can ask permission once again and follow with one of these questions: “Can I show you how you can know 100% for sure you can go to Heaven from the Bible?” “Do you mind if I show you what the Bible says about that?” “Do you have a few minutes for me to show you how to receive the gift of eternal life?” If they answer yes, they have given you permission to share the Gospel. Use the Bible and walk through the gospel. Allow the person to see and read the scriptures for themselves. It is helpful to mark your Bible with the following verses by highlighting the verse and then writing the next verse on the page somewhere so you know where to go next. Memorize and know these verses inside and out.
