Have you told others about Christ in the past? If so, what role did listening and dialogue play in the interaction? In the future, how might you use these techniques even more effectively?

Yes, I just recently got into a discussion with a young man of about 27 years of age who happens to be a friend’s son. He wanted to talk about The Book of Eli and all manner of such things that I knew very little about. He was about to embark on a long Hike in a National Forest. I told Him I would pray that God met him there alone in that place as he sought rest. I told him that I may not be able to answer all those questions of his, but that I have come to know that God is right and true, that I can rely on His Word always, and that I have a personal relationship with the God who made me. No one can take that from me ever, I said. I believe if people truly knew God as He reveals Himself in Scripture, they would yearn for Him, turn to Him and want to know Him better.

Yes. I’ve learned how much I need to grow in listening in interactions. I want to grow also in asking more pointed questions.

Yes I have shared about the death, burial, resurrection, ascension, and still to come again Christ with others. I have learned that it is best to listen and learn about the person and their story and then be the bridge between their story and Jesus’s story.

I have talked to others about Christ. I have helped lead some of my youth group teenagers to Christ. I like to hear where other people are thinking and where they are at in their spiritual jpourney.

I have shared Christ in my circle of influence. It requires listening to them to hear where they are, what they desire, or what may be missing. Asking questions is a good way to get the willing person to share more. It most importantly requires hearing what the Holy Spirit is saying. He may reveal what was not said or what is missing in focus or understanding. I am open to learning to be more effective in reaching the lost for Christ as He leads and reveals.
