Welcome! Check out our ideas! Pull it out! & pass it around

"Jesus came as a rabbit at Easter and later in the year turned into a pumpkin." I heard this comment on the radio recently and could hardly believe my ears! It made me think about the very real lack of knowledge in our society about our public holidays. They are Christian and religious holidays, but they’re also national holidays which increasingly less and less people know the background to. How do we educate people about Easter without alienating them while staying true to our beliefs? How do we reach out to our communities with the Good News of Jesus, the baby born in Bethlehem, who died on the cross and rose again on what we now call Easter Sunday? What does Evangelism look like in 21st Century Aotearoa New Zealand? And above all, how do we tell our stories? And how can we “Always be ready to give an answer when someone asks you about your hope”? (1 Peter 3:15) In this edition of the WAY2GO magazine we’ll look at ideas for sharing the Good News of Jesus in our homes and communities this Easter.
