I mentioned recently at our Fusion meeting about a challenge that Andy Morgan mentioned whilst teaching our apprentices. It was one of two actually and I got him to write them down for you…
In an attempt to channel the competitive nature of teens I devised two challenges which I have used with various youth groups.
The first was to try and get them to read scripture. I offered $100 to anyone who could find a contradiction in scripture which stood up to any scrutiny. The rules were they would bring an apparent contradiction to the youth group and I would get one week to prepare a response (if I could not do it on the spot). Needless to say nobody got the $100 but there was an awful lot of trying!
Secondly, I would challenge my youth group to bring ANY object with them and I would give a gospel presentation using that item as an illustration. There was a prize for the person that could bring an object which I could not use to present the gospel. We had everything from a thong to Led Zeppelin album and everything in-between.
