My take: I learned about Life in 6 Words from my teenagers during a dinner conversation. We were sitting around the dinner table one night discussing what happened to each of us that day. I started by talking about my day at work. The main topic was the urgent need to find a replacement for FoxPro, a software no longer supported but still crucial for our mobile core training. This update is essential for efficiently sharing our faith through technology. By now, my two teenagers are well-versed in our regular discussions about app updates and tech challenges. We all then laugh and, in chorus, shout out: "We will make these tech updates work effectively!" Ok, I say, so my day was a typical day, dealing with the intricacies of updating legacy systems.

Next up was my daughter who said that one of her classmates, Angie Evens, not a close friend, but someone she has known since junior high school sat down at her lunch table. Angie first asked my daughter "Have you ever wondered about God? You’re not alone. Most everyone comes to a point in their life where they wonder about God and whether He exists, what He’s like, and what He wants from them." She went on to say she had become a campus missionary and wanted to share her Christian faith by starting an afterschool club where anyone who was interested could spend time with others reading and studying God's Word. Angie gave my daughter the booklet, Life in 6 Words. My daughter was a bit overwhelmed by the encounter, but said she would take a look at the book. The rest of the family talked about their day, we finished dinner, and the kids went off to do homework. My husband and I sat down to peruse the book. We decided it would be an interesting jumping off point for the next night's dinner where we could discuss the weighty questions such as; Is there a God? Who created God? Is it possible that everything came from nothing?

3. Read & Write!

Get your teens familiar with the Life in 6 Words outreach book, then have them write a note in the front of their book to the friend they are giving it to.

  • Use a youth group meeting to pass out copies of the Life in 6 Words book and provide time for the students to read it–either individually, or by prearranging to have a couple students prepped to do an upfront reading where one student reads the narrative and the other reads the spoken word poem while the rest of the group follows along in their own copy of the book. As they read the book, challenge them to be thinking about who they would like to give this book to.
  • Once they are familiar with the book, spend time in your meeting having each teen write a personal note to their friend in the front of the book.
  • Write a letter to your friend/family member in the front of your book and read it to your teens.
  • Have a handful of teens share what they’ve written with the group.
  • Spend time praying over each Life in 6 Words book and those who are going to read them.
  • Ask your teens to text the friend they are giving the book to this question: “If you were to describe your life in 6 words, what would those words be?”

 

4. Give!

Challenge your teens to give their friend the book as a gift the next day.

  • Encourage them to text you and/or your prayer warriors about the response they get from their friends upon receiving the book.
  • Train them to say, “After you read this, I would like to sit down and talk to you about it.”
  • Encourage them to enlist others to pray for their conversations.
  • Keep your prayer warriors actively interceeding during this time.
  • Give your book away to the person God has laid on your heart.

5. Follow Through!

Develop a strategy that ensures your teens are having conversations.

  • Make sure every book is followed up by a personal evangelistic conversation.
  • Remind teenagers of the three possible responses to reading the Life in 6 Words book
  • Consider launching a Share 6 Party.
  • Consider launching a Share 6 gathering that involves multiple youth groups working together to reach the community, as well as the school campuses in your area.
  • Consider making the books available to your students on a regular basis by creating a GOSPEL Wall.

The Power of a Simple Tool

impact-middle-school

“Middle school youth group last night was one of the most powerful and impactful nights I have ever been a part of. We provide a free dinner the first Wednesday of every month so the kids can invite their friends… I asked two of my students to come and share what God was doing since the weekend. Little did I know that the night would turn into many youth sharing about what God was doing in their hearts and in their lives.

 

More Background On Share6Campaign.com

 

Share6Campaign.com once served as the central online home for the Share 6 Campaign, a youth-driven Christian evangelism movement dedicated to inspiring, equipping, and mobilizing teenagers to have meaningful, gospel-centered conversations with their peers. Although the original website is no longer active in its early form, the history of Share6Campaign.com represents an important moment in modern youth ministry: a time when relational outreach, creative tools, mobile technology, and peer-to-peer faith conversations merged into a single, highly participatory movement.

This comprehensive overview explores the campaign’s origins, ownership, goals, tools, methods, audience, popularity, cultural reach, and lasting significance. It also reconstructs key features and strategy models formerly housed on Share6Campaign.com, helping readers understand how the platform functioned and why it resonated so strongly with youth leaders and students around the country.

Origins and Purpose of the Share 6 Campaign

Share 6 emerged as a ministry initiative of Dare 2 Share, a long-established Christian youth organization focused on evangelism training. Dare 2 Share’s mission has always centered on empowering young people to communicate their faith clearly and relationally. The Share 6 Campaign was designed as a concentrated, action-oriented expression of this mission—an organized movement encouraging teens to engage one-on-one conversations with their unchurched or spiritually curious friends.

The premise was simple but powerful:

  • Teens often have the closest relational access to their own peers.

  • When given clear, non-threatening tools, they can initiate transformative conversations.

  • Youth groups can create a culture of evangelism by giving students both structure and freedom in how they engage others.

Share 6 distilled these ideas into a six-step approach (pray, equip, read, give, follow through, report), supported by materials and guidance found on Share6Campaign.com.

The campaign’s name is rooted in the “Life in 6 Words” concept—a creative approach to presenting the gospel story in six thematic words. These words were printed and illustrated in small booklets given to students free of charge (aside from shipping), enabling them to pass the booklets to friends as conversation starters.

Ownership and Leadership

Share6Campaign.com was operated under the umbrella of Dare 2 Share Ministries, a nonprofit youth organization based in the United States. Dare 2 Share has been active for decades, known for live conferences, evangelism curricula, youth leader training, and student-focused outreach tools.

As an extension of Dare 2 Share’s core mission, Share 6 represented:

  • A specific evangelism strategy

  • A distribution point for youth resources

  • A coordination hub for ministry leaders launching the campaign locally

The website offered downloadable guidance, printed materials, and explanations of each phase of the movement. Youth pastors could order outreach booklets and access step-by-step instructions for implementing Share 6 within their group.

Location of Users and Field Reach

While Share6Campaign.com itself was not tied to a particular geographic region, the movement was nationwide. Participating youth ministries came from:

  • Urban and suburban churches

  • Rural congregations

  • Christian schools

  • Student-led Bible clubs

  • Middle school and high school ministries across the United States

The campaign was designed to be accessible to any youth leader, regardless of church size or budget. Because Dare 2 Share offered up to 100 booklets free (with only shipping costs), even small ministries could participate fully.

Primary Goals of the Share 6 Campaign

The Share6Campaign.com website emphasized several primary goals:

1. Mobilizing Teen-Initiated Gospel Conversations

The campaign sought to normalize and encourage personal, peer-to-peer outreach. Instead of structured preaching events or large-scale rallies, Share 6 focused on relationship-based evangelism initiated by students themselves.

2. Equipping Youth with Accessible Tools

The “Life in 6 Words” booklet was the signature tool of the campaign. It presented the Christian gospel visually and simply, accompanied by powerful thematic artwork. Its compact structure made it easy for a teen to hand to a friend and later discuss.

3. Emphasizing Intercessory Prayer

Share 6 introduced the “Cause Circle,” a simple model where teens wrote down the names of friends they were praying for. This helped students connect outreach with personal reflection, intention, and empathy.

4. Encouraging Follow-Through Conversations

Giving a booklet was only the first step. Students were encouraged to have a genuine conversation about the content afterward, making the experience relational instead of transactional.

5. Creating a Culture of Evangelism Within Youth Groups

Share6Campaign.com provided leaders with guidance on how to incorporate Share 6 into regular youth group rhythms—through launch events, gatherings, prayer meetings, and group-based reporting.

6. Collecting Stories and Outcomes

Youth leaders and students were invited to report the results of their conversations—stories of encouragement, transformation, or even rejection. These stories helped fuel the momentum of the movement.

The “Life in 6 Words” Booklet and Why It Became So Influential

One of the defining features of the Share 6 Campaign was the Life in 6 Words booklet. Unlike many evangelistic materials, it was designed to be:

  • Visually compelling

  • Short and approachable

  • Non-threatening

  • Easy for a teen to share

  • Designed for relational follow-up

The booklet used six key words to outline the storyline of the Christian gospel. Inside the front cover was space for teens to write a personal, handwritten note to the friend receiving the book—making each copy unique and personal.

This intentional design made the tool widely popular among youth groups. Churches reported stories of students giving the booklet to friends during lunch periods, sports practices, study groups, or casual hangouts. Its conversational nature made it effective across a broad spectrum of personalities—from outgoing teens to quieter or introverted students.

The Six-Step Structure Featured on Share6Campaign.com

The Share 6 Campaign was more than a resource distribution effort; it offered a comprehensive, clearly structured six-step plan. Share6Campaign.com hosted all the instructions, printables, and leader helps needed for this strategy.

STEP 1 — Pray

Students identified two or three friends who did not know Jesus personally and prayed for them regularly. Leaders were encouraged to organize prayer gatherings, prayer walls, and group prayer lists.

STEP 2 — Equip

Youth leaders trained teens in how to share their faith simply and respectfully. Resources included:

  • Training lessons

  • Conversation prompts

  • Evangelism tools

  • Examples of how to explain the gospel

  • Guidance on answering difficult questions

Share 6 emphasized empowerment over pressure.

STEP 3 — Read & Write

Each student read through the Life in 6 Words booklet and then wrote a personalized note inside. Leaders often created group reading experiences to make the process memorable.

STEP 4 — Give

Students gave their booklet to the friends they had been praying for. They were instructed to:

  • Mention they’d like to talk about it afterward

  • Ask their friend how they would describe their own life in six words

  • Keep the exchange natural, respectful, and relational

STEP 5 — Follow Through

Students checked in with their friend to discuss the booklet, answer questions, or simply continue talking. The emphasis was on building friendship, not forcing decisions.

STEP 6 — Report

Youth groups shared outcomes—stories, conversations, reactions, and moments of transformation. Celebrating these moments helped build momentum.

Youth Leader Resources and Support

Share6Campaign.com contained extensive materials for youth leaders, including:

  • Step-by-step launch guides

  • Templates for prayer gatherings

  • Sample messages and scripts

  • Group teaching outlines

  • Follow-through strategies

  • Inspirational case studies

Leaders could also request a significant quantity of outreach books for free, making the campaign extremely accessible.

The Share 6 Campaign attracted several core audiences:

1. Teenagers Seeking Purposeful Engagement

3. Parents Supporting Their Teens

4. Christian Schools and Student Clubs

  • Thousands of youth leaders ordered booklet packs.

  • The “Life in 6 Words” concept spread widely in student ministry circles.

  • The spoken-word version of the message gained significant visibility online and at youth events.

  • Stories circulated of schools, small groups, and communities launching synchronized Share 6 efforts.

The campaign’s relational nature made it adaptable across diverse settings—urban neighborhoods, rural communities, large churches, and small fellowships.

Press, Articles, and Ministry Coverage

Although Share6Campaign.com itself was not a major media brand, the campaign was widely referenced in:

  • Youth ministry training platforms

  • Church blogs

  • Evangelism conference materials

  • Youth leader forums

  • Christian education newsletters

The Life in 6 Words message, in particular, received attention within Christian media circles as a unique and visually appealing presentation of the gospel.

Cultural & Social Significance

The Share 6 Campaign stands out historically for several reasons:

1. It Captured a Moment When Youth Ministry Was Changing

Youth leaders were seeking practical strategies to involve teens in faith conversations without the pressure associated with older, more confrontational evangelism models. Share 6 met this need.

2. It Emphasized Genuine Friendship Over Scripted Techniques

Its relational focus aligned with modern communication styles and Gen Z values—authenticity, empathy, and connection.

3. It Integrated Print and Digital Tools

At a time when youth ministry was transitioning into hybrid formats, Share 6 offered:

  • Printed booklets

  • Mobile app integration

  • Multimedia gospel explanations

This combination increased engagement.

4. It Spurred Local Movements

Entire communities, school campuses, and youth groups participated together, creating collective momentum.

Long-Term Legacy

Even though Share6Campaign.com is no longer the central hub for these materials, the underlying strategy lives on:

  • Many youth groups still use Life in 6 Words booklets.

  • The six-step Share 6 model continues influencing youth ministry training.

  • The relational evangelism approach shaped a generation of young Christians.

  • The movement’s story is preserved across archived materials and ministry records.

Share 6 helped modernize and humanize youth evangelism in a way that continues to echo through churches, student ministries, and Christian education programs across the country.

 

Share6Campaign.com represented more than just a website—it was the public face of a dynamic movement that encouraged young people to step boldly into relational, meaningful conversations about faith. Through creative tools, structured steps, youth-friendly resources, and a supportive community of leaders, the Share 6 Campaign equipped thousands of teens to engage their peers with clarity and compassion.

Its legacy persists in the continued use of its signature resources, the lasting influence of its relational approach, and the countless personal stories that emerged from the campaign’s emphasis on simple, heartfelt conversations.
