STL Teens - Are You Survivors?
By Lane Palmer
On February 8th and
9th, Dare 2 Share Ministries will be at the Scottrade Center to help every teen
in the city and surrounding areas get ready for the return of Christ.
How? Dare 2 Share's
Survive Training Tour will equip
teenagers to live strong and stand firm in a culture of fear due to global
and personal uncertainty. This training weekend will use 2 Peter 3:9-14 as a 
survival
guide to provide teens the hope and victory that comes only through Jesus
Christ. Here’s what to expect during this life changing weekend event:
Major Themes
Teens will get a big
picture view of prophecy. Many times Christians miss the major point of prophecy
in disagreements over when and how Jesus will return. The big picture view
focuses not on ‘when’ or ‘how’ but ‘that’ He is coming back and we must be
ready.
Your youth group
will learn how to deal with money and possessions in light of the return of
Christ. They will get an action plan to live simply and use their money and ‘stuff’
to fuel their own local churches, the kingdom of God at large and the poor.
Each of your
teenagers will get a practical action plan for sexual purity in light of the
return of Christ. They will learn how to fight against the lies and stay pure
all the way through their high school and college years.
The Friday Night
Drama
The Survive Tour drama focuses on the
imminent return of Christ amidst growing persecution as a motivation. The
setting is five years in the future. Terrorism is now a global problem. ‘Radical
extremism’ in any religion is viewed as pre-terrorist action. Evangelism is now
seen as part of that radical extremism. Proselytizing is outlawed, viewed as an
invasion of privacy and a pre-terrorist act. A group of Christian young people
are caught in the crossfire between faith and survival. Will they choose to
share Jesus in spite of the cost or will they just shut up and stay alive? The
outcome of this life-rattling drama will motivate your teens to live strong,
stand firm and speak out for Christ no matter what the consequences.
Skits, Clips,
Audience Interactive Experiences and Outreach
Appropriate movie
clips, original video shorts, audience interaction activities and a four hour
outreach experience (collecting canned food for local rescue missions,
collecting prayer requests and sharing the good news of Jesus as youth groups
in pre-mapped areas of the conference city) will be an integral part of the
training experience. Every six to eight minutes something different happens on stage
to maximize the training and keep the thousands of teenagers fully engaged the
entire weekend.
Get Ready - because The Survive Tour will be an unforgettable weekend event that will
equip teens to know, live, share, and own their faith in Christ.
