Unless someone ASKS you to share your faith, or unless you ASK them and they honestly say its OK, its not right to share. Don't even talk about it. OK, please listen, because I'm not going with this where you might think ... Its not right to share a thing that others don't want. That's to force an issue, and NO ONE has that right. BUT, that DOESN'T mean you can't spread a truth that YOU honestly believe. It just means you do it in another way. You teach and you share in such a way as to make others WANT what you have. How do you do that? You live your truth. Your actions, your manner, your life style ... ALL of these things speak loudly. If they're good, if you lead by having set a good example, people will want what you have because they see the goodness of it, and not because you bugged them about it with words that might actually push them away. ~ Peace & Blessings ~

Collect up as many Gideon's Bibles as you can, and put them in a shredder. Then take the shredded Bibles and throw them off a tall building. That should spread the Gospels out nicely.

You don't have to evangelize to spread the Word. Spread the Word by living it....not by pressing it or forcing on others. If you live a good life, are kind and compassionate to others, and generous of yourself you are, in fact, spreading the Word. We don't need more preachers of the Word - what we need are more "livers" of the Word.

If you are an American, who do you intend to spread the word to?
Do you seriously believe there is anyone in the US who has never heard of Jesus or the bible?
If there is, you probably won't be able to find him because he is the most out of touch person on the planet.

* Joint a singing group that performs in public.
* Attitute toward parents is #1 this days: honor them.
* Be ready to give a thoughtful answer as to why you believe what you believe: study Scriptures.
* Organise a Bible study group among your peers and invite someone with more experience to lead out on the discussions.
* Community service: it opens doors for sharing.
* Look forward to University and a profession as a means to serve your familly and humanity, and be financially free to act on God's behalf.
Giving your youth years to God is the best decision you've ever made. I did and to not regret it one bit. Just keep the Biblical Joseph in mind (in Genesis) or Daniel and his friends, and even through trials and heartaches, God will make something beautiful out of you.
By keeping your life in the hands of Jesus, your values will be shaped so that your decisions will be based on ideals that will make of your life on Earth more enjoyable. I have seen it time after time with friends who lived life without God during their adolescense, and today they are marred with problems due to their early life's decisions. Be strong and keep the good flame burning!

How young is young? Tracts are a great way--people seem more likely to accept them from younger people. For instance, no one ever turns down my eight year old sister!

You can follow your heart and your mind. You can live your life in the sight of god and your very steps will lead you to a fullfillment of your quest. Be alert and stay sober and don't lie down with dogs or you will get fleas. I mean try to be good so your spirit can learn from god easier and ask for your will to have his will and guide you in your life. He will prepare you silently with scripture and send you securely if you wait on him Do not respond to panic that is not god, but some fear is from god...check out your situation. God wants us to stay home alot and work on our families and venture out when it is safe. Safety first...inPeople who are in darkness do not know light...When you give your Jesus or god speech and you are met with anger try to plant the seed and go...Donnot argue less you put yourself in harms way...The bible teaches that saul or better known as paul when they spread the good news they went in groups of 3 or more therefore jesus was present no dought and it was safer and it says if they will not give you food and water for your journey and will not receive the gift then shake the dust from your sandals and donnot look back just walk on god will give every one man women and child a time to know him. Sometimes you will carry the announcements alot of times others will. Above all put on the full armour of god so that you may be able to stand long in the evil day and having done all to stand in all prayer and supplication with all saints= child of god. Best wishes Learn the scripture I am not that disciplined but maybe you will e= you can find the armor of god in ephesians-letter that the apostle paul wrote. 1.put on the helmut of salvation2. girt your loins with truth 3.put on the breastplate of righteousness4.pick up the sheid of faith.wherewith to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.5shod upon your feet the gospel of peace6.pick up the sword of god wich is the word of god and I think that's all the armor oh yeah don't forget to walk next to jesus or beneath his robe to be hidden.....stay safe stay true to yourself and jesus..may god bless and protect you with his infinite power and send legions of angels with you every step you take will be governed by the Lord.

Don't get discouraged by nay sayers. Just live your life according to what you believe. You could also join a youth group at a local church, they usually have activities that will help you.
Keep your head up.

Ya what the first person said. People need to be able to believe what they want to believe. Me, personally, I dont believe in god and all that stuff. It gets really annoying when someone tries to come up to me and ask me if I've been living my life correctly. When I say yes, they ask me if i go to church. When I say no, they tell me I'm not living my life correctly and I need to change my ways. Really annoying!

People have a tendancy to not want listen. Here is a saying that has helped me. Your talk talks and your walk walks, but your walk talks louder then your talk talks. Meaning live the life and others will see your sincerity to your beliefs and they will want to know why.
