Kid Evangelism: Eyes on the Prize

9 CommentsEv Tips/Tools

The item created quite a stir: a prize to be coveted.

Who would win it? Where would they put it? How long before a parent tossed it in the trash?

I teach an evangelism/drama class for 8-13 year-olds at my church and the homework is to hand out one tract a day for the duration of the class. Also, I write a little humorous evangelism-oriented script for them to act out in front of the parents which they perform on the last day of class. The purpose of this class is two-fold: Obviously, I want the children to develop a zeal for the lost; I also want their parents to follow the children’s example. When the skit is performed, the audience gets to hear a clear presentation of the use of the Law and Gospel in a witnessing encounter.

Back to the prize. As an added incentive, each time the kids write a paragraph about their experience handing out a tract, they get points, which earns them candy. The top of the class wins this awesome, beautiful, majestic, Grand Prize Trophy:

 Eat your heart out, folks!

Here’s a sample script. Feel free to use this for your own kid-evangelism class. Email me if you would like my other scripts.
