Have you ever needed to show someone how to share their faith? Their testimony is the easiest way for them to start.
Someone I recently met in a country where Christianity is suppressed was asked by a family member why they were so happy all of the time. The person shared that they had trusted Christ. It was a risk. It was a testimony.
The family member did not immediately react. Shortly after though that family member went on a religious pilgrimage. Half way through the pilgrimage they returned home. They told my friend that those on the pilgrimage were continually fighting, stealing from each other, and stealing from stores on the way. They said to my friend, “These people cannot behave this way while serving a true god. Tell me more about Jesus.”
Simple identification with Christ, contrasted with the dominant religion in the area, led this person to the Lord.
How do you help someone share their testimony? I will outline a way that may help you tomorrow.
