Great videos! \u201cTP-ing\u201d the heck out of the neighborhood! Food! All night discussions on juicy topics! Kissing pillows and swapping most embarrassing stories. The right friends. A good place. Good video. It might be awhile since you gathered together like that. Did you know the same kinds of great fun and ideas can be turned into opportunities to share Christ? What made those times so memorable? Chances are it was the environment. You were totally relaxed in a setting that jazzed you. Your friends were safe people, well sort of at least until you went to sleep. First one to go to sleep always got the shaving cream and the hand in the warm water trick\u2026remember? Ha! You\u2019re gross! An evangelistic outreach needs to be on a turf that students know, enjoy and can make an escape from if it gets too hot. Remember, you\u2019re sharing about Jesus Christ. Your church wouldn\u2019t be the best place. Too many students have negative feelings about places of worship. Your youth worker\u2019s grandmother\u2019s place wouldn\u2019t work either.

Not only does the topic need to be relevant, but it has to be able to naturally lead into spiritual things.

It\u2019s gotta have food, and it should be uproariously fun! Christianity has taken a bad rap.
