About Lilyadvice
I'm a sixteen year old female and always give advice to my friends. For as long as I can remember, teenagers have come to me for advice and I answer honestly and truthfully. They said I give good advice, so I decided to come on an advice column to share my advice with others. No matter what the trouble is I promise to never judge and do all in my power to help.

Being the devoted christian you are, I'm gonna assume that you are a big part of the youth with your church. Often, it's best to turn to your youth pastor and leader and he can help steer you in the right direction. Sometimes at people's hardest hour they are willing to try anything, so if you see someone struggling with a need, it may be easier for you to reach out to them. You may have someone in mind, and if so, like say a friend or family member, then ask if they would like to do something with you that day and see if they will come to your church and afterwards do an activity. Try to do what you can to make it appeal to them. If it's a friend, you can ask if they want to sleep over and join an activity with your youth. This has actually worked with me. Before getting comfortable with the people, my best friend hated going to church, but wanted to sleep over and went along with it. Find what would get them interested in the first place, like a friend you think they will like, an activity you think they will enjoy with the church, or whatever it is you have to do. Say that if they come with you, you'll do something they want to do. I know it may seem like your bribing them or something, but nothing can start until they get their foot in the door and can hear the truth. Also, I'm gonna say this because I've seen it happen, but if you talk about God, be sure to do so without offending them. I've actually been to dollar general and their was people having a huge argument about religion. I wasn't there when it started and it was still going on when I left, and those ladies were offending those men by coming straight out saying their beliefs are wrong. I've seen stuff like this happen, so just be very careful how you go about it, or you could offend someone. and be sure to show that you love them no matter what they choose to believe. My youth pastor used to be an unsaved alcoholic before one person showed God's love to him. He is now one of the most loved men in the church and the two are happily married. That just goes to show how much being a friend to someone can save their soul. I really hope I was a help in any kind of way
