The Holy Spirit really works through us. Audry took a long bus ride to the northern part of Burundi, Africa, and sat next a woman who introduced herself as Chantal.

Now naturally, the conversation turned to spiritual things, and Audry was able to share with her the Good News of the Gospel. When he started sharing about Jesus, Audry wanted to ask, “Who do you think Jesus is?” ...but he had forgotten her name! The Holy Spirit prompt...

As we continue sharing what God is doing around Africa; I want to share with you an inspiring story from Uganda. Denis took a team that he was discipling to a football field for what we call “On The Job training.”

They saw someone seated dangerously on a cliff at the edge of the field. If the man wasn’t careful, he would fall and get hurt. Denis and his team approached the young man whose name was Jonathan. He’d lost his job two w...

Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

This famous passage from Matthew nineteen shows us Jesus' heart—God loves the little children of the world. And He wants to have a personal relationship with them! Something I prayed over my own children is that they would know the Lord at the earliest possible age. And, you know,we have an opportunity in o...

There are exciting things happening in Africa. Just this past year through evangelism training events, we saw over twenty million people make professions of faith in Jesus.

And that happened through over one million believers learning how to share their faith—both adults and children. These Christians were in churches, schools, and even prisons; and they began to share the Gospel and reach their communities for Jesus. You want to ...

Psalm thirty-six five(36:5)tells us, “Your steadfast love, O LORD, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds.” It’s so true—God is faithful. And I love telling other people about how faithful He has been to me. It reminds me of the passage in Joshua 4, where the Israelites cross over the Jordan River.

When God parted the waters, Joshua commanded one man from each of the twelve tribes to pick up a stone from the botto...

What have you seen God do in your life? The truth is, we all have hundreds of what we like to call “God stories.” These are times you’ve experienced God moving in your life, like the moment you put your saving faith in Jesus or a change He’s brought about, an answered prayer, a restored relationship.

When sharing one of your “God stories” with another person, make the contrast for them. Start with what life was like before the cha...

In a culture that combats finding what is true and what is a lie, people now more than ever are looking for genuine, authentic relationships. They want to hear the truth. And when it comes to sharing our testimonies, it’s important to remember to be genuine and vulnerable while telling others our story, of how God saved us through Jesus Christ. God may have you sharing with a Divine Appointment—a person He has drawn to you to hear ...

I meet a lot of Christians who tell me that their story doesn't matter. Maybe that’s you! Have you ever questioned the significance of your testimony or thought that no one was interested in hearing it?

Allow me to share a profound truth from Revelation 12:11 with you: “And they overcame [the enemy] by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony...” Your testimony is not just a story but a powerful tool in the hands ...

How do we make the connection? When it comes to sharing the most important part of our lives, our relationship with Jesus, how do we naturally and lovingly start the conversation?

Think about what you like to talk about with your friends. You want to hear about their life! And this is true about your coworkers, friends, and family—they want to know about your life,too. You might be surprised at how many of them would love to hear ...

If you’ve seen someone leave a Gospel tract in a restaurant or hand one to a stranger walking by, have you ever thought, “I wonder if they’ll read it?” I’d like to suggest that our first and best response should be to ask the Holy Spirit to compel the person to read it as He did with Philip. Philip was sitting on a park bench talking on his phone when someone walked by and handed him a Gospel tract.

The Holy Spirit prompted Philip...

I’ve heard people say that tracts don’t work anymore. They say that they’re a thing of the past. Well, don’t tell that to Doctor (Dr.) Varga. More than a decade ago, a stranger handed her a tract –one of our tracts, to be precise. The tract prompted her curiosity. She read it, discovered the free gift of eternal life, and trusted Jesus Christ as her Savior!

Years later, she purchases those tracts a thousand at a time in order to s...

Some people criticize tract evangelism, saying that it’s cold, impersonal, or even outdated. But the truth is, it works. Dale and George worshiped at the same church. And following the service, Dale gave George a Gospel tract, thinking that George could use the tract to evangelize.

George took it home with him, but instead of sharing it with a friend or a family member, he read it intently. It struck him like a lightning bolt; “I’...

It’s unthinkable. It’s February 1975, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. You leave a Gospel tract with a young fueling station attendant you come across while you’re filling your tank. He takes the tract, shoves you, gives you an earful; and while you’re stammering for words, he walks away.

Now, if you’re someone who likes to hand out Gospel tracts, you’ve probably never had an experience quite like that, but I’ll bet you’ve still wonde...

How do you start a conversation about Jesus? Sometimes, all it takes is having something to connect over. When Jesus was at the well in Samaria, he started a conversation on spiritual things with the Samaritan woman by using the water in the well!

They began talking about physical water through Jesus asking for a drink. By the end of the conversation, Jesus told her He was the Living Water. The connecting point for believers in Bu...

What does your day-to-day look like? Do you get on a bus to get to work or carpool? How many trips do you make during your day...to get lunch, to stop at a grocery store, or run an errand?

Think about the people you cross paths with in just one day of your life. It reminds me of a story about a man who boarded a bus and met a man carrying a book on Buddhism. That was all he needed to open a spiritual discussion. And by the end of ...

Our busy lives operate in community groups, and I’m not talking about Sunday school classes or weekly life groups at church. These community groups are made up of parents, even grandparents gathered at the local youth baseball diamond, the club volleyball tournament, the high school soccer game.

We have opportunities to be a part of hundreds of different community groups, and it creates an incredible opportunity to talk to people ...

You know, I really believe with all of my heart that sharing the Gospel is the most important task that believers can do. And that’s why I love to share my faith. Jesus used the most ordinary things to lead people to Himself.

At a well, Jesus spoke of Himself as the Water of Life that quenches a deep thirst. To the hungry, He presented Himself as the Bread of Life. To the crippled and the sick, He was the One who could make people...

In a recent study done by BarnaResearch, half of Generation Z Christians they surveyed said that they believe “letting your actions speak rather than using words to explain your faith” is evangelism. Fifty percent!

Now today, we’re going to tackle two important things we need to know regarding words and actions when it comes to evangelism. First, you cannot share the Gospel with someone by some form of osmosis. Words must be share...

Remember, it is the Gospel itself, not our clever answers or power of persuasion that is the “power of God unto salvation.” When you’re sharing the Gospel, and you encounter an objection, the goal is to deal with the objection as simply and quickly as possible and then continue with the Gospel.

Two keys to remember are first, to research their question and return with an answer: If you don’t know the answer to their question, tell...
