When a person meets Christ a change occurs. Their identity, their actions, and even their thoughts will change over time. Some changes may be immediate such as they are now called "Christians," and "children of God" etc. Other changes may take a lifetime. A classic youth game, known as "Buzz", is used along with famous Bible Characters to illustrate some of the changes that occur when someone puts their faith in Christ or God.

The woman at the well is probably the most incisive of the New Testament narratives of Jesus' dealing with the spiritually lost. It is found only in the fourth chapter of John's gospel. From it we can learn many things about personal evangelism in general that can also be applied to our evangelism to youth.
