What is salvation all about? What
does it mean to be saved? What
impact does Jesus dying on the cross
mean for me? Who is this Jesus and
what did He ever do for me?
Depending on the maturity of your
youth, their answers might vary. For
some of our youth groups, most have
been brought up knowing about Jesus
and the message of salvation. For
others, Jesus might be a foreign
concept, less well known than Ronald
McDonald!



I remember doing a Bible study series
focusing on growing in Christ called
"Fruit of the Spirit" and received so
much positive response and life
changing testimonies that I decided to
take a step back and do one specifically
as an evangelistic study. I looked at the
success of the Alpha course and
thought, hey, I'm wondering if a Bible
study series similar to that could be
developed just for a more seeker
sensitive audience.



But how do we describe salvation to
someone who has never heard it
before?

My next thought was how to introduce
the concept of salvation to youth that
have probably never heard it before. I
didn't want to rehash “ The Four Spiritual
Laws”. I wanted to create something
youth could identify with and talk to their
friends about. Something I could put in
their hands so that as they have heard
and received the good news, they can
now tell their friends and take part in
God's command to “make disciples of
every nation”. Every nation. That's when
it struck me.



What better way what better way to
introduce the message of Salvation by
relating it with the largest international
sporting event in history - the Olympic
Games! There is probably no other
sporting event more universal than the
Olympics. Just a little history lesson, the
founder of the modern Olympic Games
was Baron Pierre de Coubertin. His vision
was to create a sporting event where the
most important thing in is not to win but
to take part, just as the most important
thing in life is not the triumph but the
struggle. The essential thing is not to have
conquered but to have fought well. Yeah.



When I read that, my mind was blown
away at how much that was like our
Christian walk. Our Christian walk is not so
much about the end of it, as much as it is
growing in intimacy, step by step, learning
to love God more, struggling with our
flesh and being a better testimony of
God's goodness in our lives. We don't
need to be better than the person sitting
in the next pew, we just need to
participate in God's plan for us and be
faithful to our calling. I had to find out
more.



I found out that Coubertin also came up
with the symbol of the Olympic Games.
The Olympic symbol, consists of five
intertwined rings and represents the unity
of the five inhabited continents of the
world: Africa, America (considering North
and South America as a single continent),
Asia, Europe and Oceania (including
Australia). The rings - blue, yellow, black,
green, and red - over a white field forms
the Olympic flag. It also represents the
five parts of the world which now are won
over to Olympics and willing to accept
healthy competition. Another reason
these colors were chosen was that every
nation had at least one of them on its
national flag.



Amazing stuff! Not only does Christ's
death on the cross unite us as a body, but
it includes the whole world as part of
God's complete plan of redemption for us.
I thought a little deeper and realized that
each of the colors on the Olympic Symbol
relates to part of God's Salvation plan.
Black represents our sin, red represents
Christ's blood which was shed on the
cross, white represents the cleansing we
now have through His death and
resurrection, green represents our
continuing growth and sanctification, blue
represents the baptism we receive and
the Holy Spirit as our helper, and yellow
represents our heavenly destination and
reward.



These lessons are designed to be a
roadmap to Salvation and are best done
with the pre-believing friends of your
youth or Christians who are new to the
faith. You may also wish to have more
mature Christians use this study as a tool
to share the Good News to their friends
and loved ones.

It is my prayer that God might do a mighty
work in your midst and call many who are
strangers to and far away from God into a
realization of the extent of God's love for
them and to take that step of faith into
god's amazing plan for their lives.

The Lessons

There are 5 Primary Bible study Sessions
in the series, but you can pick and choose
from these for a shorter youth camp. You
may even wish to use these as a study
series in your youth meetings, Youth Bible
study groups, or youth small groups.



• Put on Your Running Shoes “The
Spiritual Race and Characteristics of
Good Athletes” (I Corinthians 9:24-27)
• Cross Training “A Healthy Spiritual Diet
and Exercise” (I Timothy 4:8)
• Crossing the Goal “Don't Give Up,
Don't Look Back, Focus on the Goal

• Staying In Your Lane and On Track
“Discovering God's Will”
• A Trophy or Atrophy “Choosing to Live

I have created this Bible Study Series for
youth in an ebook (PDF) format that
includes both a teacher's guide and
students' guide. The Teacher's guide
explains the options and comes with an
additional commentary, activities, and
illustrations. The student's guides are
found at the end of the book and are
intended to be printed on sheets of letter-
size paper (front and back). Make as many
copies as you need of the teacher's guide
and student worksheets. It couldn't be
easier!

You can get this ebook today (in fact, you
can be using it in as little as 5 minutes
from now!).



What's a resource like this worth?
• This is a complete Bible Study Series
that is reproducible - you can make as
many copies as you need for your
camp, youth meetings, bible studies,
and small groups. Most camp materials
from bookstores require you to buy
one copy for each youth at the camp.
Depending on the size of your youth
group, it could cost you 100's of
dollars!
• I have been paid US$500 to write
customized camp Bible study materials
like this for church youth camps that
were similar in format to this study.



But you can get this Youth Camp
Resource today for only US$19.97

That's right, just a fraction of what it's
really worth. Why would I make it so
affordable? Simply because my purpose is
to help as many young people as possible.



This is an electronic book (e-book) that
can be downloaded to your computer in a
flash. Which means you can be reading it
and using it in as little as 5 minutes from
now. This e-book is in full color and you
have the option of printing it in color if
you have the capability.

US$19.97 is a drop in the ocean compared
to what other people are charging for
similar resources.

And don't worry, if for any reason you're
not happy with the content, you have a
complete guarantee to protect your
investment.
