I have shared my foundation of belief in GOD the Father, JESUS CHRIST His Son, and the HOLY SPIRIT. I have shared my testimonies of what GOD has brought me through, and I have listened to other people’s testimonies. What I have found is that those who are ready to hear about CHRIST and what He has done for us will sit down and have a conversation with me. Listening and dialogue played a central role in those conversations. Those who want to just debate and try to dispute my faith, I smile and end the conversation, giving them over to GOD because He is GOD and the only One who can work in their hearts.

I’ve shared and share pretty consistently. I’ve recently used the “Four” with my ministry the FCA.

Yes I have, first the people who knew me started asking me about Jesus, and being a christian and that gave me an opportunity to testify just with my testimony and little bit I knew about scripture at that time. As time passed my wife and I started going out to the parks, and markets, knocking on the doors, on the streets, bus stops, anywhere to evangelize, now with a plan and the first plan that I used was the “road to Romans”, later we open a family reunion every Saturday and invited persons for a coffee and some refreshments and we will preached them the news of salvation, I found that inviting a person to your home for a coffee or refreshments it creates a more relaxed ambience to talk about the plan of salvation for the first time, and after a time they feel more comfortable to come to the congregation. this has been my personal experience. I have also participate with the evangelization department at my congregation.

For me? It’s been family, friends, colleagues or people that are around me in my life. They have a relationship with me and the gospel sharing is a multi time- often multi-year endeavour.
Having the concept of slowly giving people what the hokey spirit has received in their hearts at that point to receive is less bible bashing.

Yes, I have told students about Christ in a classroom setting. Usually I have some sort of lesson that I have planned out. However, the students are welcome to ask questions to seek more information and we can have an open discussion. I have not had a lot of opportunities to speak to people who are adults. But when I do, I try to stay calm and answer any questions they may have.
