Puritan Board Freshman

So we're conducting a Christmas program (we few Christians who are part of a fellowship/prayer group in a college predominantly consisting of Hindus and Muslims)
The goal is not to just conduct a Christmas program but to make an event where we present the gospel to our college mates(about 200-300)

So the leader of the conducting team came up with this idea for a skit sharing the gospel- the train bridge illustration- where a Father saves the train and kills his son because he had no other choice to save the members in the train- now apart from being theologically inaccurate(The Father sovereignly willed Christ's crucifixion and the Son volunteered- he wasn't a helpless child who got stuck in a train track)
They wanted to add a 2CV scene of Christ voluntarily being sent by the Father to lie down on the train track- it doesn't really make much sense!

Can somebody please suggest skit ideas that don't have 2CV and which can be used as a springboard to share the gospel?

Ignoring the obvious issue of a Christmas anything, why do a skit, which just opens up all these attending problems? Just do a presentation, Why Christ the Son of God became man, or something, and present the Word preached?

Fair enough
We will be having such a gospel presentation
There's a skit too for some reason
They just want to keep the audience engaged and entertained(like they'd also give them some food and gifts and games to make sure they stay entertained till the end)
 
Write a skit about a church that wants to entertain their people and the main character struggles to come up with a great idea, goes to bed and is visited by the ghosts of seeker-sensitive churches past who try to show him the errors of his ways through Scripture.
 
Hi Henoch,

It's awesome that you're there, desiring to reach your classmates with the Gospel. What an awesome opportunity.

I think it's a great question, and I think I think you can make it a fun evening that is also faithful to presenting the gospel.

We work with international students at a University in the States, many of whom are Hindus and Muslims. What we seek to do is welcome them through hospitality and friendship, and through this "soil" we explore the gospel seed with them. We find this is really important. One of the things we do is a Christmas party. We've done it for a few years and done some tweaks. But we'll basically do some fun things that are associated with celebrating Christmas here in the States, things they are curious about, like decorating Christmas cookies, doing a Christmas "bingo" game, and decorating a Christmas tree (we actually raffle off the tree at the end so one student gets to take it home). We start it this way. We also do a "white elephant" gift exchange that they have fun with. After that, we have our worship leader from church play a few traditional Christmas songs, we print these out so that the students can read the words as we sing, and they can sing along if they like but don't have to. After this I give about a 10 minute message about the true meaning of Christmas. I try to keep it short and to the point. We finish a candle-light (LED candles here) rendition of silent night. This is how we do it. The Christmas party is one of our favorite things that we do all year.

I think it's awesome you're doing this. We find students are very curious about Christmas so having a Christmas event like this is a great opportunity to share the gospel with your non-Christian friends. I hope this is helpful or gives you some ideas.
 
Reenact the scene where Santa Claus slaps the heck out of Arius. You could update it to have him slapping current day heretics. :)

That's awesome brother
Thanks for the idea of the games and cookies

We will have a message section where we'll present the gospel message
They were thinking of having an emotional skit to describe God's Love in Christ /like an illustration or something before the actual gospel presentation begins

Are there like extremely good sermon illustrations you could think of
