    About this ebook

    Jesus calls students to a radical faith and commitment. This study guide challenges middle and high school students to courageously take a stand for their faith in their culture, and to make a positive impact at home, at school, on the team, and in their relationships. The time to make a difference is now—not when they graduate, get married, or get a job.

    Students who follow Jesus cannot afford to equate “good works” with evangelism, and cannot view missions as something that is only done in other countries. Through this study guide, students will learn to share their faith in real and practical ways here and now with the people around them every day.

    Features include:

    • 8 sessions of study, easily adapted into two 4-week sessions
    • Practical steps for students to engage with their culture from a biblical point of view
    • Leader helps
