PEW
Kenn suggested that leaders should share their personal reason for sharing the gospel. That's a good idea. We will do it in a big group... all packed into one classroom so that all the youth can hear from all the leaders. Leaders we will come up to the front and share. Just a few lines would do. We could also share in medium size groups (2 or 3 groups combine up)
E.g. "I share the gospel because..", "I am going to share the gospel because...", or your own version.. Most importantly share from your personal experiences. Then it is more genuine and makes this exercise as it should be.. a social-spiritual thing.
I will wrap up after that to tell them the biblical reason why Christians must share.
Then we will split up into groups and share (15 mins):
1. Who do you think you can share the gospel with? Tell us about this person.
2. What are your fears?
3. Get the youth to pray for one another.

After that we will gather again to wrap up, about the 3 excuses (I don't know, I don't dare, I don't care) and challenge them to do PEW. Leaders go to your youth and challenge them. You are their real leader. Not me... Don't feel obliged to convince them... pray and trust in God. If they are willing we will do it together, if they are not, they can watch. Leaders will lead the way.
