Day 15 - 40 Days of Focus: Evangelism

Ready to Share

Once you have your testimony down, it’s time to share it. But who should you share it with? Doesn’t it sound abrupt to say, “Hey, do you want to hear my story?” There are a lot of ways you can share it. One way is to post it on your facebook profile or another online spot such as the church web site. By doing this, you will make your story available to many thousands of people, some you will never meet. You also might want to share it with your pastor and offer to read it to the congregation. But the best way I know is to share it with a neighbor or co-worker.

Last night Nicole and I had our newest neighbors over for dinner. Without forcing anything or being abrupt, we found an opportunity to share the story of when Claire was born three months early and how much of a difference it made for us to have people praying and to have the peace that comes from knowing God. Who could you invite to lunch or dinner? Pray before you meet that God would give you an opportunity to share all or part of your story. Start by asking them theirs. Follow the Holy Spirit’s lead. God is always on time.
