An Amazing Evangelism Tool & Opportunity for Your Teens

May 14, 2013 by Leave a Comment

The Life Book

As you may know, I’m a big fan of FREE… a fan of organizations that resource youth workers, and a fan of teenagers being resourced to win with their friends.

For those reasons, I’ve become a big fan and promoter of what my friends at The Life Book are doing for teens when it comes to peer-to-peer evangelism. Here’s the concept in a nutshell: The Life Book contains a short summary of the Old Testament – including creation, the Fall, and God’s redemptive plan–to help unchurched teenagers understand the need for a Savior. It also includes the entire Gospel of John (ESV), interactive student comments and questions, and a challenge to put their trust in Jesus as their Savior (it can be viewed online at: www.thelifebook.com/read).

Student’s love it and love to hand it out. In fact, students have handed out over 7 million Life Books so far! Plus, the Life Book is given only by students, so it fosters personal, ongoing relationships between those giving and those receiving God’s Word.

As a youth worker, this could be an easy “win” for you as it helps you equip your students as missionaries to reach their classmates & encourage them to develop habits that will give them confidence to share the Gospel. Let your students see God’s power to work through His Word. They don’t have to memorize any speeches or know everything about apologetics. They simply give The Life Book as a gift and watch God use His Word. Upon request, you will receive 1,000 FREE LIFE BOOKS for your students to give to their classmates. Life Book is 100% funded and no longer ask for a love offering or anything in return for your FREE 500, 1000, or 1500 Life Books… “No love offering, no strings attached, TOTALLY FREE.”

This could be a great way to kick off the school year or for the week of See You At the Pole, but order now to make sure you get your Life Books in time. They go fast every school year!

How It Works: Your students give the gift of the Gospel and then watch God work…

  1. Register at thelifebook.com/register to get your FREE Life Books.
  2. Show your students the free, short training videos.
  3. Your students hand out 100% of The Life Books. You can do it during a short-term “mission trip” to their school. IMPORTANT OPPORTUNITY: They also highly encourages you to have your students hand out one or two Life Books a week throughout the school year as an ongoing evangelistic effort.

SLC 2013 – Dallas: Only 2 Months Away

April 10, 2013 by Leave a Comment

I am so excited to train more teenage leaders this summer! We’ve got a great team assembled and a new site in Dallas–that’s only 2 months away. Do you have some potential leaders that you can “lean into” and cast vision for who they can become? If so, invite them (their life might be changed by that invitation of belief–mine was when I was in 9th grade)! We’re not looking for your entire youth group, we’re looking for a few.

PLUS MANY MORE… Click here for our entire speaker lineup!

Question: What questions do you have? I’ll be happy to answer them. Post them here.

I’m asking for your help…

Dear Youth Worker Friend,

I’ve written books to Student Leaders, I’ve discipled Student Leaders, and I’ve created conferences for Student Leaders for several years (last year we had over 1,000 student leaders attend). Every year I get more excited about our Student Leadership Conference and this coming year is no different. It’s going to be amazing! In the last two years we’ve been asked to expand from 1 location to 3 (with a 4th being added next summer).

I’m humbly asking for your help to spread the news!

This is a little weird for me to write and ask for help, but you cannot imagine the number of stories I’ve heard about the impact SLC has had on the individual lives of students, families and youth ministries. These stories are the only reason we continue to run this conference and expand it across the country. One of our primary values is to keep this conference as inexpensive as possible for youth workers to add this “camp/retreat” experience to their calendar–we start our pricing at only $125 per student (for 3 days–that’s an amazing price).

This summer we’re adding a third location–Dallas, TX. We’re thrilled to be coming/going to Texas, but we desperately need help getting the word out to a new market area… this is where I’m hoping you can help us.

1. Consider bringing your group to our Dallas (or, PA or So. CA) location.

2. If  you can’t attend, will you please help us spread the word? Like us on FB, tweet about us, hashtag us in your instagrams. You get the idea, you can even forward this blog post to your youth ministry friends and networks.

Thanks for your help! One of my favorite things about ministry is doing it in community and I love it when youth workers come together to help each other! I’m grateful for whatever you can do!

I love teenagers and youth workers and want to help both be more effective. Get all the details and lots more information on our website at slc2013.com.

I am confident this conference will impact their ministry!
