It could be that your parents might not be as enthusiastic because they have not seen or heard of how you are planning to "do" your evangelism outreach events. So, this is what I would do...call a parent's meeting or mail a "parent's newsletter update" to each family. Tell them what you are going to do...why you are doing it...how you are going to do it...and how it will benefit the Christian growth and development of their students. You might actually want to consider actually using an Evangelism Curriculum over a few weeks in Sunday School or at student ministry meetings and publicize the fact that the students are receiving some biblical encouragement and training. Some good material to check out:
Becoming a Contagious Christian (there are several versions of this book, look for the student edition)
Mission and Service Projects by HomeWord
Both resources will give you and your students some good teaching and "fuel" to talk to the parents.
Blessings to you! |
