- 03Location: Celebration GatheringTheme: Our theme today is SHARING. Sharing our faith means first sharing our lives and investing in the lives of others too; authentically caring for them. Ask Jesus to give you wisdom and courage today as you SHARE and interact with others. Pray that God would prepare the way for you to have real conversations about faith with people who you meet today. Sometimes we share through your actions, like earlier in the week, today you may have the chance to share your story of faith and the truth of the GOSPEL with people…take every opportunity!Here are a few ways you can start that conversation:Hi my name is _____________, and this is ________________. We're out with our youth group wanting to hear people's stories. It's World Cup, what team are you rooting for and why? (this could lead to a prayer for their country of origin)Hi my name is _____________, and this is ________________. We're in the city today with our youth group wondering if there's anything you would like prayer for?Hi my name is _____________, and this is ________________. We're learning about serving others this week, would you like a water bottle.Hi my name is _____________, and this is ________________. We're a Christian youth group out to pray for people today. Can we pray for you? Is there a stress in your life, and how can I pray for it?Hi my name is _____________, and this is ________________. We're with a Christian group learning about listening to people's stories, would you be willing to share your story with us? Could we also tell you what we've been learning this week?Pray as a group that God would use your group to speak truth and life into the people you meet today. Some may be believers, others might not, but don’t be afraid to engage people in conversation. It might be as simple as asking someone how you can pray for them!
