My oldest son and I just finished up a series of dvd's with a local youth group. We don't usually do youth groupy type stuff but this group is made up of mostly kids that we know from his AWANA group. So we decided to try it. I am SO GLAD that we made the effort to go. AND I am SO GLAD that I decided to sit in, since we live too far for me to drive home and back again. We just finished up the series this evening. I highly recommend it to all who are truly interested in sharing thier faith.
The leader of our group described it as - Take the show survivor, throw in the good news, and you have "The Gospel Journey"
This series features 7 students from all walks of life - (and I do mean ALL - a preachers kid, an athiest, a jehovah's witness, a wiccan...) some saved, some not. These kids who do not know each other are all taken to the Rocky Mountains where the Gospel story is shared with LOVE. Using this acronym-
G od created us to be with him. (Genesis 1-2)
O ur sin separated us from God. (Genesis 3)
S ins cannot be removed by good deeds. (Genesis 4 - Malachi 4)
P aying the price for sin, Jesus died and rose again. (Matthew - Luke)
E veryone who trusts in him alone has eternal life. (John - Jude)
L ife that's eternal means we will be with Jesus forever. (Revelation 22:5)
Greg, the preacher who serves as a guide, is amazing! He is so incredibly unjudgmental as he shares his faith and the gospel. No pressure is applied as the students share thier thoughts and questions, and some great conversations happen.
They have the first section of the series online if you want to view it.
Here is a brief description fom the website.
Seven students. Six days. One unforgettable journey.
What happens when you bring together seven unlikely strangers, throw them right in the middle of the Rocky Mountains and take them on a journey through the gospel message as it unfolds throughout the story of the Bible? Raw, real and riveting discussions, an emotional breakdown or two and a few shocking surprises!
