“True Story: A Christianity Worth Believing In” (James Choung)
James Choung of InterVarsity put together a excellent explanation of the Christian faith. His “four circles” capture, I believe, a more holistic presentation of Jesus’ kingdom message, offering a natural transition to gospel conversations for projects or outreaches that have a good deeds component.
Here are two training documents for use in preparing students to use this method (the second is adapted for students in the southeast):

I’ve also included three youtube videos below for introduction to the method and as a training help. The third video illustrates the Southeast Revision.
James does an excellent job responding to criticisms/concerns about this presentation of the gospel at his website. His book, True Story , is also excellent.
