What would you do if 80% of your audience did not understand the Gospel -- even after spending hours studying the Bible with you?
That is the question Jeremy was wrestling with.
Jeremy is the chaplain at a Christian school. He was saddened to learn that the annual survey of students revealed that only 20% of the students understood the gospel, despite hours of biblical studies classes. The simple message of the gospel was getting lost among all the other messages the school was presenting.
Jeremy knew something had to be done, so he asked Geoff, a missionary with Power to Change, to come and share a simple gospel message with 500 students at their senior school chapel.
Geoff decided to use a presentation called TheFour. This simple tool presents the same four points of the gospel as has been popular with The Four Spiritual Laws but using symbols designed for the "screenager" generation.
A dozen students indicated that they prayed to receive Christ during chapel. The school then assigned watching TheFour.au videos as follow-up in their well-being classes so that students could discuss the concepts in greater detail.
I like TheFour.au because the symbols are easy to follow:
- "Heart" = God's Purpose;
- "รท" = Humanity's Problem;
- "Cross" = Jesus' Solution;
- "?" = Our Response.
