Abstract

At a time when children and young people are eminently engaged in the online world, it is key to investigate their perceptions and understandings in order to establish the context for evangelism amongst them. This phenomenological study gathered data using focus group discussions with 51 young people aged 7 to 16 years old. Discourse analysis illuminated some key areas of focus for evangelistic strategies to be more informed and hence more effective.
