Sharing Our Faith

The Bible calls us to share our faith with others. Jesus tells us to make disciples of all nations (Matthew 8:19) and that we are Christ’s ambassadors on Earth (2 Corinthians 5:20). Sometimes sharing the Gospel can seem intimidating, but we found some great advice from Focus on the Family and prayers from Crosswalk that can help!

Here are Focus on the Family’s 5 simple steps to share the Gospel:

  1. Pray for guidance
  2. Build a relationship with the person you want to share with
  3. Share your story with them
  4. Share the Gospel with them
  5. Offer to pray with them and invite them to church

We also shared 5 prayers that you can pray specifically for the next generations of believers. Click HERE to see the prayers from Crosswalk.
