Sharing the Gospel Using the Gospel Wheel

The Gospel Wheel, used in the Awana program, was designed to be a useable tool for presenting the gospel to the postmodern person You don’t have to use an outline. Sharing with a person from the Scriptures can start at any entry point. The Holy Spirit will use the Word to lead a person to faith in Christ.

Gospel Wheel

At the center, of course, is the gospel (Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again). The entry points align themselves along two dimensions. The character line could begin with a discussion of God’s character (love) or man’s character (sin). Either entry point gets you to the gospel. You could share along the action line, that Jesus’ shed blood on the cross provides for our salvation, or the corresponding action of a person, which is to trust (have faith or believe) in Jesus Christ. Start anywhere, but get to the gospel!

If a child is ready to accept the free gift of salvation, allow the child to pray in his or her own words.
