I'm a Christian, and I have some advice for you: you go to school to learn, so learn.
You go to work to make money. Don't preach at these places - its very inappropriate and very annoying to those
who want to study. I teach Scriptures -
there is no mandate from God that says you need to preach - if the opportunity comes about for you to plant a seed, then by all means plant that seed - but other than that, please just go to school to learn. We have no power to see to a seeds growth - all we do is plant it. Its up to God and on His timetable as to whether that seed grows and when it grows. Do not try to do Gods Job for Him. You are not supposed to
prod and pry until someone gives in to you;
you need to have faith and leave that planted seed to God. All you will be doing by preaching at school is to lose your credibility because its inappropriate to preach there. Nobody likes a pushy preacher - nobody. I don't even like it, and I'm a devout Christian.

commence by ability of praying for them. placed fish stickers and Bible verses on your books. somebody may even see them and ask approximately your faith. At Christmas, supply out some Christmas enjoying cards with tracts in them. If somebody confides a situation to you, tell them you will pray for them. This works if somebody tries to have interplay you in gossip additionally. They probable won't situation you lower back in the event that they do no longer seem to be receptive to the gospel. If somebody shows that they do no longer seem to have an interest, pass directly to the subsequent guy or woman. It in basic terms annoys them and wastes a while in case you press the concern. in case you have a definite adventure at church for toddlers, invite somebody. i'm going to be incorrect, yet i think of Christians in public faculties ought to shop a low profile for the main section. additionally, you have to be a pal to a woman that seems lonely or is unpopular. think of of her as a ministry. you're able to circumvent a suicide. Pray and ask God for different innovations. Be respectful in case you sense you're able to desire to disagree with a instructor. they are able to authority over you. if your mom and dad are Christians, consult from them any ingredient that's taught that would not sound authentic to you. i'm going to desire for you.

Proselytizing is against the rules of your school and violates the separation of church and state.
If you want to get in a WHOLE lot of trouble, suspended or kicked out from your school, then by all means go ahead and do it.

The best way to be a witness to God's love and power is to reflect His love by your actions towards people around you.
When we are more caring about other people than we are about ourselves we are really showing what God can do for those who are His. Then, they will begin to question you about why you are this way.

Just pray for them, Rose. And be ready to comfort them when they are hurting, or answer them if they have a question about God. You do not need to foist God upon them, the Lord knows His sheep, and you need just be a willing vessel.

You should NOT share your faith with people in school. School is a government institution, where everyone has an equal right to go and not fear proselytizing. If someone asks you a question, then by all means answer. Otherwise, keep it to yourself until after hours.

In YWAM (youth with a mission) we learned "friendship evangelism." Be a friend to people and let the opportunities come to you. When they ask what you did over the weekend, you say you went to church for example, then let the conversations expand once they know you're a Christian.
This is just one way of sharing ones faith, and probably a good one for someone who's in the process of losing their shyness. God bless...

Well, how about letting them become interested on their own? Fair enough?
