Share Life Today

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

Being a follower of Jesus means being a lifelong learner—continually growing, being discipled, and equipping others to do the same. Our sanctification—becoming more and more like Jesus—doesn’t stop after one lesson or one experience; it’s our daily commitment to grow deeper in our faith by reading the Bible, praying, wo...

What if one day off could lead to a lifetime of impact? In Timor Leste, a group of pastors and children’s leaders decided to spend their free day not on rest—but on mission. These faithful Indonesian leaders chose to be equipped through a Hope For Kids training through our ministry, which is a children’s evangelism disc...

Why is it so important to be equipped to share our faith? Because the opportunity to lead someone to Christ can come when we least expect it—and we need to be ready. Gan Shuo from Malaysia joined a Hope for Kids workshop just to support the Sunday School ministry. But through that training, God gave Gan a new burden: to...

"If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I’ll hear from heaven, and I’ll forgive their sin and will heal their land." This promise from God found in 2 Chronicles gives us such hope—even in a time where hope is scarce in our country. ...

Things change when a community comes together. We see this time and time again in our neighborhoods, cities, and country. And this very same principle applies to telling others about Jesus. We’re stronger together. In Namibia, Africa, this is happening all across the country. But I'd love to share with you an example of...

I met a pastor a few years ago who told me that evangelism doesn’t work anymore. He told me you can’t go and talk to people because the culture doesn’t approve. Do you know where this pastor was from? The African nation of Zambia. Unfortunately, that is a common statement we often hear around the world. However, I asked...

The Gospel changes everything. Can I get an amen?! In our day and age, what's happening in our country and culture makes things look very bleak. But there is truth that we as Christians believe...the Gospel changes people from the inside out. And when people are changed, communities change. When communities change, citi...

We should all want hope in our country. But you know what? We'll never have hope in our country until we have hope in our cities. And we'll never have hope in our cities until we have hope on our streets. We'll never have hope on our streets until we have hope in our homes. And we'll never have hope in our homes until w...

What’s more valuable than worldly success? In Matthew 16:26, Jesus asked, “What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet [lose] their soul?” Well, we know, it’s Jesus that is the greatest treasure a person can attain. And that’s the heart behind what’s happening in Vienna, Virginia, where a local churc...

Have you ever felt unprepared to share your faith—but knew the Holy Spirit was prompting you to speak up anyway? That’s exactly what happened to one of our new trainees in Jamaica. After just the first day of evangelism training, she went home and began talking with a colleague. All she had learned so far were the two d...

Sometimes, the most powerful Gospel conversations happen in the most unexpected places. In Trinidad, during an evangelism discipleship training, Darren and his trainer approached a group of men hanging out, drinking, and listening to loud music. But off to the side, one man named Wallen sat alone. His car was being repa...

Has fear ever held you back from sharing your faith—even when you knew God was prompting you? Elizabeth felt exactly the same. Before receiving evangelism training, Elizabeth had the desire to share the Gospel—but fear often held her back. Like many of us, she second-guessed approaching strangers, unsure how to begin. B...

Over the course of the summer, we will be sharing with you some stories, thoughts, and encouragements from our staff on each continent around the globe.

When we learn to share the Gospel, we become part of something eternal. This past September, Samuel walked into our ministry’s offices in Uganda. Homeless, jobless, and abandoned, he’d spent nights on the streets of Kampala, desperate and hopeless. He told us, “I thought about ending my life so many times…I just needed ...

When we ask God for opportunities to share the Gospel, He answers—and sometimes in ways we don’t expect. One evening this past September, a young man in Kenya who learned to share his faith felt prompted by the Holy Spirit to speak with two young men from a nearby village. He had recently been to one of our evangelism t...

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the power of God unto salvation for everyone who believes. Last August, in Kasungu, Malawi, a young girl was moments away from taking her own life. But God had another plan. Evance, who had learned to share his faith, heard about her situation and went to her home. While others were trying ...

Why is it so important to share the Gospel? Well, because right now, someone is praying for the truth. Daniel was one of them. He cried out to God, “Reveal Yourself to me—for my salvation and for my personal growth.” And that very same day, Japhet—one of our EE trainees from Nairobi, who had just learned to share the Go...
