Summary/Abstract: There is a constant need to preach the Gospel to young people in the Church. The Church wants to realize and identify the most effective ways to proclaim the Good News to the next generations. The lesson of religious education can become a place to preach the Good News. Evangelizers can revitalize the school environment through such content, such methods and such dynamics that are inspired by the Spirit of God. Various models of evangelization have been present in the Church since ancient times. This evangelization has always derived from the Word of God. The contemporary evangelist should first realize the situation in which he announces the Word of God and later should use the most appropriate strategy of evangelization. These strategies may be used during catechesis / religious education. Nowadays, it uses many methods of evangelization. One may often encounter the methods developed at the School of New Evangelization. This becomes an opportunity to deliver the message of the Gospel to the new generations and to awaken the joy of faith in them.
