1. Dumb Down the Gospel. Employ attractive phrases such as, Since I ve known Jesus I m happier, getting better grades, and captain of the football team!
Even better, reduce the complexity of the gospel into group cheers (i.e., Give me a J!
) or simple worship choruses like, God is so good blah blah blah. (Try singing those words in Ethiopia.) Or even better, try out some hip slang (i.
e., God is phat ; Jesus is a hottie ).
2.
Count. Constantly make everyone aware of your group s attendance figures and the increases in attendance. Make numbers an issue by setting attendance goals for each activity and reward the group for reaching those goals.
Spend lots of time throwing pies at the leaders if goals are reached.
