Someone Cared … Someone Shared
Process & Strategy
- Start with prayer
- Build meaningful relationships
- Understand the person in witnessing
- Gage the person’s level of knowledge, attitude, and behavior
- Extend the person’s lattitude of acceptance
Lesson & Application
One method cannot fit all. Witnessing is not about using a specific method of approach to preach to people about Christ, such as the Four Spiritual Laws. It is about caring, influencing, and connecting relationally. Do not attempt to bring an old man or lady to a Christian ‘rock’ concert and expect him or her to get converted. It may bursts the old person’s ear drum and he or she may never be able to hear the Gospel again!
Connecting Relationally
- Enhancing relationship by meeting felt need
- Exposing and explaining Chrstianity to them
- Clarifying misconceptions
- Expressing spiritual concepts meaningfully
- Sharing the Gospel sensitively
- Sharing testimonies or experiences of God
- Don’t force a win or lose situation
- Remain a friend
