Evangelism is always an important part of Vacation Bible School. LifeWay’s ABC approach to becoming a Christian is an effective technique you can use to reach people for Christ. The “Admit, Believe, Confess” concept reinforces what kids are learning during VBS and helps them share their faith with others.

Witnessing Helps

LifeWay’s ABCs of Becoming a Christian

A—Admit

Admit to God that you are a sinner. Repent, turning away from your sin.

(1 John 1:9; Romans 3:23; Romans 6:23; Acts 3:19)

Believe that Jesus Christ is God’s Son and accept God’s gift of forgiveness from sin.

(John 3:16; John 14:6; Acts 4:12; Romans 5:8; Ephesians 2:8-9; John 1:11-13)

Confess your faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.
