Discussion

  1. What are some of the excuses youth and young adults give for not evangelizing and sharing their faith with those who they see everyday in their neighborhoods?
  2. Why is it so important for us to face our fears, overcome our excuses and boldly evangelize every unsaved person in our neighborhoods?
  3. Can you give an example of a time when you shared Christ with someone in your neighborhood? Did they accept Christ? What happened?
  4. Who are some unsaved people you know where you live who you want to evangelize and lead to Christ? What is your plan to evangelize them?

End: Pray for those who want to evangelize the lost who live in their neighborhoods and win them to Christ.Then pray for those who want to accept Jesus or rededicate their lives to Christ, then take requests.
