every year our school has a Club called the S.W.A.T Club which stands for Spiritual Weapons and Tactics. personally, I wish they would change the name, but that's not my call...anyway, this year all of our leaders are graduating, so My friend was going to take over the club next year, and I want to help. well, for the past couple weeks, no one has been coming, so next year, we plan on bringing fresh material that'll grab people's attention and help spread the word of God throughout our school, the problem is there's no propaganda allowed at schools if it's religion-based. (*whic is stupid cus they allow stuff like that for Gays/ Lesbians Clubs and stuff like that) anyway, we want to start fresh, so I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of how to start the year off? To grab people's attention, but not frighten them away. I want to spread the Word of God throughout my school, but I don't know where to start. any suggestions?

I think that the best way to spread the message is through relationship. No matter how cool the literature may be, most people will throw it away without giving it a second look. The best witness you can be is to be there for people and to make sure that you are living the way God says. One thing that my youth pastor always says is "if you are truly a disciple of God, then you will have people following you. Jesus never had to announce where he was going. The people just found out and followed." Or something to that effect.

As president of my high school's christian club i found this the hardest thing. drawing people in was hard especially as the year went on even tho we had parties, guest speakers, worship etc. A couple of years ago was the worst. We were losing motivation when we looked out and saw no one wanting to come. Then a guest speaker came to just the officer's meeting and challenged us to reexamine our motives. Why were we on campus, what were the goals of the club? Were they to draw a crowd of people or to lead people to Jesus? Often times Jesus met with individuals one on one to discuss their needs. it's ok to want to reach out to a crowd but make sure the main goal is to reach out.

But you can't reachout if the club isn't fun so ideas that helped us draw a crowd=
1.involvement in school activites like a fair or fundraiser etc.
2.pizza parties! (if allowed at your school)- giving away free pizza and inviting members to bring friends and then having the gospel presented always worked for us
3. See you at the pole (syatp.org) get your club to wear bracelets and t shirts and stuff for the event and then at the event usually when people who may not be in the club come tell them about the swat team.
