Most of the time, the gospel was turned down. When people have responded positively, it was easy to see that God had been at work long before I came on the scene.

Boldness combined with humility and experience also help.

I have. Listening and forming a relationship with the person first is the key. With FCA we have the “FOUR,” the Gospel explains din 4 simple truths that I tend to use with students and it is effective for adults as well. I like the Romans road and will use it a a teaching tool in my huddles now that we have done the FOUR and will likely use flashcards.

Listening is essential because everyone is at a different spot. Asking probing questions may unlock new thoughts or new questions. Ultimately, we must understand that we are just ‘seed-planters’, and that nothing we ask, say, or do will change a person’s heart. Only God can do that.
