What you are about to read was first sent out as a Bible Bite in 2006 — nineteen years ago. We haven’t issued a call for new ideas since 2022. That’s the last time we added some great new ideas sent to us, and, yes, we also removed a few that had become obsolete.

Three years have passed, and there are probably many new Christmas evangelism ideas to share.

Why is this Christmas Planning theme surfacing in October?

Isn’t October too early to be thinking about Christmas? The retail industry doesn’t think so—they’re already filling their shelves with Christmas merchandise, seizing every opportunity to profit from the season. As Christians, shouldn’t we be just as eager or even more motivated to make the most of the month of December—not for material gain, but for eternal impact through the Gospel?

Why October? The answer is simple: December is too late to start planning your Christmas outreach activities. Yes, you may be able to pull something off on short notice, but now is the time to pray and discuss how you could reach out to others throughout December with the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ. Now is the time to order supplies.

Why designate December as a special month for Evangelism?

A real evangelistic opportunity awaits us all again (individually and corporately) in less than a month and a half. Considering the darkness in our troubled world and the fear of what the future holds – how could we not intentionally share the good news of God’s grace with those who have no hope?

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given … Isaiah 9:6

The Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. 1John 4:14

Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. 1Timothy  1:15

There are still millions of people around the world who expect to hear something about Christ at Christmas time. In the spirit of the season, many are more pleasant, receptive, and tolerant in December than at any other time. Others are new to our country and yours, and they know very little about the meaning of Christmas. December is a rare annual window of opportunity when more people are more receptive to hearing the good news about Jesus Christ.

Is there anything more to Christmas than the fabled Santa Claus? Let them know there is! And what’s this about beautifully wrapped gifts under the tree? Let them know about the Gift Who hung on a tree. And why are there millions of lights? Tell them about the Light of the World. Listen to them ask: “What about the miniature stable and manger ornaments? Is there something in your faith tradition that makes those things important to you? What do they symbolize?” Let’s find as many ways as possible to tell them.

Let’s leverage the month of December to maximize the spread of the good news of Christ!

This Bible Bite is meant to encourage you to seize the next six weeks to prepare and be ready for the “December Opportunity” to share Christ in a very special way.

Have you thought of getting some of your Christian friends together over the next couple of weeks to discuss the possibilities of sharing Christ with your community in a special way this December?
