“A simple strategy to share your faith”

How can you share the Gospel with people who haven’t heard it? Or have heard but haven’t trusted in Christ? The Gospel gives people hope and promises eternal life for those who accept Christ as their Savior. It’s an urgent message, and you can share it!

Take this 7-day challenge to reach those around you and point the way to everlasting life. You can do it alone, with a Christian friend or get your church group involved. Don’t wait. Start today!

Be intentional. List five or more people who don’t know Christ. This could be friends, family, neighbors or co-workers.

Pray. Pray for each person on your list. Pray that God will soften their hearts and open their minds to hear His voice, and that He will open doors for you to share what He’s done in your life.

Set a good example. How do you treat the people on your list? What does your Facebook status or choice of music say about you? Set a godly example by your kind spirit, gentle words and selfless actions.

Get personal. Invite them to visit PeaceWithGod.net, an interactive website that shares the Gospel in four simple steps. Email them, share it on Facebook or Twitter, or in person. Say something like, “Hey, check out this site. I found it encouraging and thought you might like it. Let me know what you think!” If the person you’re reaching struggles with a specific need or question, sharing one of these pages might be helpful.

Start a conversation. Follow up with the people on your list. Ask what they thought of the website. Refer them to KnowJesus.net if they want a personal mentor to answer questions about God or basics of Christianity, or to GoingFarther.net if they want to explore this on their own or grow spiritually.

Spread the word. Get your friends, family and church involved in the 7-day challenge to reach as many people as possible.

Don’t stop! Continue setting a godly example, praying and sharing the website with others. You can’t give people a heart for Christ, but you do have a responsibility to share God’s Word. God is with you and can use you in ways you never thought possible. Also consider volunteering with Search for Jesus to tell others about Christ online! We provide the training. Visit SearchforJesus.net.

“Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.” - 1 Corinthians 15:58

"Every Christian is either a missionary or an impostor"

C. H. SPURGEON

"Therefore, to you who believe, He [Jesus] is precious..." 1 Peter 2:7

If Jesus is precious to you, you will not be able to keep your good news to yourself; you will be whispering it into your child's ear; you will be telling it to your husband; you will be earnestly imparting it to your friend; without the charms of eloquence you will be more than eloquent; your heart will speak, and your eyes will flash as you talk of his sweet love. 

Every Christian here is either a missionary or an impostor. Recollect that. You either try to spread abroad the kingdom of Christ, or else you do not love him at all. It cannot be that there is a high appreciation of Jesus and a totally silent tongue about him. Of course I do not mean by that, that those who use the pen are silent: they are not. And those who help others to use the tongue, or spread that which others have written, are doing their part well: but that man who says, "I believe in Jesus," but does not think enough of Jesus ever to tell another about him, by mouth, or pen, or tract, is an impostor. 

You are either doing good, or you are not good yourself. If thou knowest Christ, thou art as one that has found honey; thou wilt call others to taste of it; thou art like the lepers who found the food which the Syrians had cast away [2 Kings 7]: thou wilt go to Samaria and tell the hungry crowd that thou hast found Jesus, and art anxious that they should find him too. Be wise in your generation, and speak of him in fitting ways and at fitting times, and so in every place proclaim the fact that Jesus is most precious to your soul.

Steps for Sharing the Gospel by Gary Cobb

Steps for Sharing the Gospel by Gary Cobb

"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age" (Matthew 28:19-20, NKJV). Jesus said that we are to go, and as we're going, to make disciples. That involves walking with Him and sharing Him with others. Here are some tips to help you get started:

1. Understand that your own life is a great part of your witness. If my relationship with Christ isn't vital, then I really don't have a lot to share. People not only listen to your words, they look at your life. We still fail and aren't always a good example, so our only hope is to come to God and surrender to Him. It's nothing that we can do. It's God's work.

2. Realize that we earn the right to be heard by sincerely listening to others. Everyone has a story. You can't just blunder into a situation and callously share without listening. The Bible says that Jesus was a friend of sinners. That's our example—to be a friend, to listen to people, see where they are, and then take them where they need to go.

3. Recognize that people are looking for a cure. When you go to the doctor, you don't say, "I have cancer." Instead, you describe your symptoms. That's where most people live. They only see symptoms. "I'm lonely. I'm suffering from a broken relationship. I'm stressed." … We know the ultimate cure. It's Jesus Christ. Jesus didn't die for their symptoms. He died for their sins. Yet, people don't wake up in the morning and think, You know, I need to accept Jesus. They wake up with the symptoms, and so as people who are attempting to rescue those who are lost, we need to start with their symptoms, show them the disease (sin), and take them to the ultimate cure (Jesus).

Prayer

Lord, thank You that we have found repentance and forgiveness in Christ. Teach us how to tell others about Jesus and what He has done for us. We pray in Jesus' name. Amen.
