God never leaves us alone

God loves the people we encounter as much as He loved us — enough to send Jesus to die for them on a cross. And He uses us to share that love with them. When we seek Him as we share that love, He will lead and guide us through the whole process, even when we experience fear.

Why witnessing begins with prayer

Who would you like to see give their lives to Jesus this year? A family member? A friend? Or perhaps the people you work with or those who live in your community? Whoever they are, you can be a part of introducing them to Christ by committing to pray for them every day.

Jesus leads us to share

Jesus gave us a model for everything God calls us to do, so that we can model it to others. As we study His life and grow in our Christian walk, we have an opportunity to model that to others and help them grow in their walk with Jesus.

God calls us into true Christian fellowship with other believers around us, but not just so we won’t be lonely. He wants us to join together to share His love with the world.

Jesus and the art of Gospel storytelling

Our stories can be powerful. They contain our personal experience with a living God and can entice others to want to experience that power too. Consider how you can incorporate your own God stories as you share the Gospel with others.

Saving faith is transformative

God is looking for people who have faith. Faith is the main feature of the Christian life. Without it, we cannot be saved, and through it, we experience God’s power to be witnesses.

Scripture calls us to share

Paul says in Romans 1:16 that the Gospel is “the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes.” Isn’t it amazing that God chooses to use us—fearful and fallible human beings—to share that power? When we do, He gives us the amazing opportunity to witness His power in action as it changes lives for eternity.
