Resources and Comments in Response to “Evangelism and the Under-Thirty Crowd”

The July 19, 2010 issue of Alban Weekly (“Evangelism and the Under-Thirty Crowd“) is adapted from the article, “Resurrected Lives,” published in the Spring 2010 issue of Congregations magazine.

The article discusses the role of Christian evangelism with young adults and the ways that congregations might respond more fully to both the spiritual questions of young adults and the gifts that young adults can offer. The author specifically addresses “relational evangelism,” which aims at “pointing out the ways that God is already active, transforming lives, and connecting us to each other.” If you have not already read “Evangelism and the Under-Thirty Crowd,” please do so now.
