Well my school's bible study club isn't really the most active..
we don't get many people who are as one would say "regular" comers..

last year we mostly had chips and soda so you know that half the people who came weren't exactly there for growing in the faith and reaching out to our school.


So this year we're tring to make this work better this year, does anyone have any ideas?
Things their bible club does, things you would be interested in if offered, possibly courses we could offer
*??




*-we would like to make it everyday if we got enough people and it's an idea for different days, you know?

I don't know what your budget's like, but free food is always a good way to get people in. Pizza is usually the best. Also, did you advertise for it? Put flyers up in the hallway and in the school paper. Some people in your school may tell you that's unconstitutional, but they're wrong. The only way it would be unconstitutional is if it were a mandatory meeting. Also, have it during a lunch period if you can instead of after school.

Hope that helps.

Prayer prayer and more prayer my friend. And remember, it is always going to be a desire for us to want more people to come and fellowship, but don't make it a numbers game in the sense that you lose perspective on why you're there.

For a couple years I taught a Bible study and I found myself being happy or sad about how it went based on how many showed up but really the point in us gathering was to be in the word together, pray for one another and lift eachother up, benefiting from eachother's fellowship regardless of how many people show up.

Remember, you don't have to sell people on the deal. Letting people know you're there and available is one thing, trying to sell them on coming is another. Don't worry! The Holy Spirit is working in the lives of everyone in your shool, drawing them each along and ministering to them in a way unique and personal to each one. How they respond to it is their God given choice. All you have to do is play your part. You're there, you love Jesus and people know what you're about. Serve them whether its 1 or 1,000! Watch as God moves...pray for them and I promise every single one that God has planned to be touched by what you guys are doing WILL show up. For those that don't, continue in prayer. They may come to the Lord next year, it may be on their death bed when they're 99!

If you want to attract people advertise it at your school and make it enjoyable to go to.
