10 Best Approaches for Sharing Your Testimony About Jesus and Using Personal Stories to Share the Love of Jesus
​
-
Start with a personal story. Share a time when you experienced God's love or grace in your life. This will help to create a connection with the person you're talking to and make them more likely to listen to what you have to say.
-
Be genuine. Don't try to be someone you're not. Just be yourself and share your story in a way that's authentic and relatable.
-
Be respectful. Listen to the other person's point of view and try to understand where they're coming from. Don't be judgmental or argumentative.
-
Be patient. It may take time for the other person to come around to your point of view. Don't give up on them. Just keep praying for them and loving them.
-
Pray for the person you're talking to. Ask God to open their heart and mind to the truth of the gospel.
-
Offer to pray with the person. If the person you're talking to is open to it, offer to pray with them for salvation or for whatever else they need.
-
Give the person a Bible. If the person you're talking to doesn't have a Bible, give them one. This will give them the opportunity to read God's Word for themselves.
-
Invite the person to church. Invite the person you're talking to to church with you. This will give them a chance to hear the gospel preached and to meet other Christians.
-
Be a real friend. The most important thing you can do is to be a friend to the person you're talking to. Show them that you care about them and that you're there for them.
-
Trust God. God is the only one who can change a person's heart. Trust Him to do His work in the person you're talking to.
