Technorati"So the next time you are hanging out with friends who know Halo but don’t know God, try bringing up a conversation about the storyline behind planet earth."
Another great way to witness is to bring up the subject of death. Although violently graphic games, such as Halo 2 tend to mute and dull the senses of this generation, called "Millennials," born between 1980s and 2000 - Youth Evangelism Explosion describes this generation as desensitized - the many deaths in the game will allow a Christian youth to ask questions about the after-death, states Palmer, and opens up a conversation about Christian beliefs.
"Then after they share their beliefs, ask them if you can share yours. Be sure and mention that of all people on earth, Christians don’t need to be afraid of death because our ultimate destination is in heaven," he states in his article.
This article is part of a database called the Culture Commission Archive, written by a number of people on "How To Witness Using ___" and several topics fill in that blank. For example, there is one on 'Reality TV,' 'Hotel Rwanda,' 'Super Bowl Ads,' and 'Saved!' the flopped movie about "hypocritical" Christians.
Another great way to witness, he writes is through the online multi-player option, which is an option to "share the gospel with some guy in England," while you both "have the headsets on." What a great way to do "overseas missions work while sitting in your boxers on the sofa."
This generation of youth is most interested in being "cool," said a broadcaster on the Family Radio Network, and Palmer's emphatic, "How cool is that?" may be just the perfect line to reel in the "fish" as another youth ministry, Youth Evangelism Explosion calls non-Christian youths.
Dare 2 Share has a mission to "Energize a Generation To Evangelize the World!" with the goal of training 1 million teens to share their faith, more specifically, to establish 30,000 evangelism teams (e-teams) by the end of 2010. 35,000 students have already signed onto e-teams.
This year, "Blaze" 04-05 tour will ignite passions of the youth," states their press release. Impelling a sense of urgency through the use of drama, "Twenty five movie clips, eight original skits, a full 40 minute production drama, a 4 hour outreach project and a worship concert all intermingled with powerful training will set teenagers ablaze with the glory of God and advancement of his kingdom!"
