Hi A2J

Well, too bad the only replies so far are mostly folks criticizing you.

I commend you for having a heart for these young folks. Some of them have never heard the Name of Jesus except used as a curse. Some of them have parents and grandparents that never darkened the door of a church, so they have no clue that this is something that should be an important part of their life.

And it's been 32 years ago now, but the way I first heard about Jesus in a way that meant something to me personally was by reading a copy of "The Cross and the Switchblade" by Nicky Cruz ... which allowed me, as an unchurched teenager, to hear the Gospel (I was from the suburbs, though, so the whole gang-to-saved story was not similar to my own life) ... at that time, I was 14 years old, and I didn't DO anything about it such as pray to invite Him into my heart or start attending church, but for the first time I was aware of Who He was and *what* I could/should do to find my way to Him.

Then, I found saving faith, at the age of 16, by coming across a gospel tract, and praying the prayer on the back page. The change in my heart was real. I had committed my life to Christ. That was July 1974, thirty years ago (Thank You Lord!) and He is still my savior, He is still my Lord.

If I have any ideas for your endeavor, I will let you know.
God bless you!
