The Share 6 Campaign: A Ministry of Dare 2 Share
The Share 6 Campaign, a ministry of Dare 2 Share, is all about inspiring, equipping and deploying Christian teenagers to engage their friends in gospel conversations. The site offered highly designed little books called, Life in 6 Words, which were created to help teenagers bring the word of Jesus to their peers in a natural way. This was the Share 6 Campaign website.

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 update 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
“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.
