SR. Youth Details
|
Who's it for? - Anyone Grade 8-12.
What happens at Youth? - Usually we all just hang out before youth starts. After a quick prayer is said, we head right into games for about an hour or so. After games we'll break for food, followed by a time of prayer, and then we go into our talk/discussion time for the evening. After that we usually wrap up the evening in prayer or maybe even a game. |
|
When is Youth? - Every Tuesday! 6:30-8:30pm! (Check the Youth Calendar just to be sure.) Where is it? - At the Nicola Valley Evangelical Free Church! 1950 Maxwell Ave., Merritt, B.C., V1K 1L9. (Check the Youth Calendar just in case!) |

Tactics: A Game Plan for Discussing Your Christian Convictions
|
What is Tactics?Conversations about faith aren't always easy to navigate. People get angry, ask questions we aren't ready for, and the whole topic of faith can seem awkward to bring up in the first place. On top of that there's the pressure that if we don't "seal the deal" and get someone to become a Christian then we've failed to do evangelism. With all this pressure, many Christians remain on the sidelines fearful of what may happen if they share their faith.
|
"Trench-tested" for over 10 YearsThat's where Tactics comes in. Tactics is a series by Greg Koukl designed on giving you a "how-to" game plan for discussing your faith with confidence in any situation, no matter how little you know or how knowledgeable or aggressive the other person might be. Tactics is designed for everyone and helps keep Christians "in the driver's seat" of conversations and begin having conversations that look more like diplomacy rather than D-Day.

The Tactics PromiseTactics comes with a promise that if you begin to practice the game plan, you will see remarkable changes in your ability to effectively maneuver in a relaxed and confident way in your conversations with others about Christ, even when they disagree strongly with you. In a time where many Christians are sitting on the bench, Tactics is helping believers step back up to the plate again to talk about faith.

Endorsements for Tactics
|
"In a society filled with so much anti-Christian rhetoric, there is no better book to equip Christians to think clearly, soundly, and inoffensively in the face of the devices employed today in opposition to the Christian faith." - Norm Geisler, Author of Encyclopedia of Christian Apologetics and When Skeptics Ask |
|
"Tactics is the book I've been waiting for! I love engaging non-Christians in conversation, but in the back of my mind I often think, "What if I get stuck and don't know what to do?" Greg helped me put that fear to rest and gave me practical tools to artfully maneuver in conversations. I enthusiastically recommend Tactics. It will revolutionize your conversations with non-Christians." - Sean McDowell, Author of Ethix, coauthor of Understanding Intelligent Design and Evidence for the Resurrection |

"Greg Koukl is a master tactician. I know of no one who is more conscientious in his efforts to communicate effectively and winsomely his Christian faith. Mastering his tactics will make you a more effective ambassador for Christ." - William Lane Craig, Author of Reasonable Faith: Christian Truth and Apologetics |
