Our new youth t- shirts just came in, and I am really excited. Why get excited over a simple shirt? Since ordering our first youth shirt, almost every week a youth tells me some experience that happened when they wore their shirt to school. Sometimes a group chooses to wear them at the same time, and someone will ask them why. Sometimes other school kids ask what “Impact” is. After getting this question, one of our youth said that it was her youth group, and that that youth should come that night.
A simple t-shirt can be more than just a shirt. It can be a conversation starter, and invitation, and a witness. It might be just what someone needs to invite, and engage with his or her friends.
So what about your group. Do you have a youth t-shirt? What purpose does it serve?
