10 Reasons I Love Mobilizing Teens to Share the Gospel

By Greg Stier, Op-ed Contributor Saturday, April 28, 2012

1. They are twitchy (just like the early disciples!)

2. Teens are looking for a cause to live for (and this is the ultimate one!)

3. The average teenagers has a ton of online and face-to-face friends to share with (100+!)

4. Teens have more influence to reach their friends for Christ than a stranger does (100xs!)

5. The gospel can heal their deepest hurts (1 Corinthians 1:18.)

6. The gospel can meet their deepest needs (John 4:13,14.)

7. The gospel can reach the worst of sinners (Romans 1:16.)

8. Spreading the gospel helps eradicate poverty and teens are all over that (Luke 19:1-10.)

9. Spreading the gospel accelerates social justice and teens are all over that too (Luke 19:1-10.)

10. Teens will take dangerous, unrealistic challenges (just like the one Jesus left us in Matthew 28:18-20!)
