In our increasingly pluralistic world, it is becoming ever harder for teens to know how to witness their faith in Christ to their friends and classmates. Designed by the LCMS Youth Ministry Office and connected to the LCMS Witness & Outreach Ministry, Every One His Witness provides teens with a rich understanding of how to put their faith in practical action, sharing the faith with people in their everyday lives.
