Books about evangelism cannot change your heart - that's between you and God. (Shining Like Stars by Douglas Jacoby)
We have to make a personal decision to face reality head-on and let your light shine.
This forum will challenge us of the following:
1. It will challenge you to overcome shyness and live boldly for the LORD.
2. It will draw your attention to opportunities God is giving you every day to reach out to those around you.
3. It is brimming with effective study materials you can use to help your non-Christian friends come to faith, and new
believers grow in their faith.
Add on more if you have in mind how this forum can help you. But before this, you have to contribute first the things you have already learned in the past how you reach out to people or even how it changed you reaching out to them. Because we once was reached out by someone either a family member, a friend or a stranger, we also have to do the same thing. I was reached out when I was in the restroom and a stranger saw my back bitten by ants. That was when she offered an ointment and invited me to their church. Some were invited in a public transportation. It was so easy to reach out back then, but as we have many crisis going on like Ebola or ISIS, people are more distant or aloof to strangers.
Just like Jesus, as he was walking along, he saw Simon and Andrews ...
Just like Jesus reaching out to the Samaritan Woman and she in return telling her hometown, "Come, could he be the Messiah?"
But for some, they first reached out to their best friend, office mates, classmates, or family.
First, I've reached out to my family, next my relatives like cousins, then office mates and friends. The last is strangers To the strangers, I'm just inviting them to come to church and give invitations. For some, I have friendships and relationships built so that I could share my faith and see the change in ME.
JOHN 15:5 English Standard Version
I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.
1 CORINTHIANS 3:6
New Living Translation
I planted the seed in your hearts, and Apollos watered it, but it was God who made it grow.
Keep planting seeds, some will nurture them, but it was God who will make it grow.
Thank you for allowing me to share on your thread. God bless.
