God Investigation Groups

GIGs are primarily used by Christians to introduce non-Christians to the Bible. These groiups take the truth of the Bible and relate it to something that non-Christians can relate to, like movies.

A GIG session will typically begin with an ice-breaking question about a film, say "Face-Off." Some questions asked might be: "What is the film saying about being transparent?" or "what are the faces that you have put on in the past that you have found entrapping?" The group, typically, will have 5 minutes to answer these questions. Once these questions have been answered, the GIG leader then relates the movie to a passage of scripture.

Movies are not the only tool used in GIG groups. The ice- breaking questions may be asked by themselves, without any connections. Teaching notes may also be used to lead / start a GIG discussion, but always remember that the main focus of any GIG discussion is to introduce non-believers the truth contained in the Bible.
