For my course in Missions and Evangelism, we are doing an evangelism practicum. No this does not mean we are to go out to the streets and hand out gospel tracts. It is about building relationships with others so we can then share our story about how God found led us to Him.
The teacher did not leave us hanging for places to go. He had several different organizations come in telling us about their work and how we could help. The vast majority were youth centered.

I'll definitely be updating more about this experience!
