The Righteous Are As Bold As A Lion: Years ago, when I met my good friend Liz I realized that she struggled with speaking to strangers (even Christians) let alone evangelizing. So I began to challenge her week after week with small steps to help her overcome her fears. These challenges helped to strengthen her confidence in the Lord and gave her boldness to eventually share the gospel. Now she's unstoppable and not the same woman she use to be. I would like to present these same challenges to you. And if you are up to it please take these challenges to heart. Remember this, Proverbs 28:1 says, "The wicked flee when no one pursues, But the righteous are bold as a lion."
Here's Challenge Number 1: If you have never passed out a tract, I would like to extend a personal challenge to you. You have one week from the time you read this to pass out one single tract. Then post your story HERE or you can email your story to email@fishwithtrish.com.
Purchase Tracts: If don't have any tracts you can purchase them at Living Waters. They have the best tracts I've ever seen. Then when your tracts arrive, you have one week from the time they arrive to pass out your first tract.
Connect With Others: A good way to overcome your fears is to connect with other like minded believers who care about the lost. Also it's vital to belong to a church that is active in sharing their faith. My Fishing Hole is a site where you can find churches in your area who are teaching The Way of the Master Training Courses and evangelize biblically.
Take The Next Step: So you've passed out your first tract and maybe you've passed out far more than just one gospel tract and you're ready for more. Great job! Now I'd like to encourage you to take the next step and talk to someone about the Lord.
Here's Challenge Number 2: You have one week from today to talk with an unbeliever about Christ. We call this a one-to-one evangelism encounter. Perhaps you'll find someone at the grocery store, the mall, or at work. Maybe you have wanted to share the Gospel with your neighbor or family member. That this love for the lost and this challenge compel you to not put it off any longer. I would be delighted to hear from you. Post your story on myblog or email it to email@fishwithtrish.com.
Use Your Tracts: Tracts are great conversation starters. You can hand a Million Dollar Bill to someone and when they ask, "What's this?" tell them, "It has the million dollar question on the back--will you go to Heaven?" These work as a great springboard to the Gospel message.
If She Did It--So Can YOU: Recently, my dear friend Michelle (21 years old) took me up on this very challenge. I gave her one week to witness to one person. She wrote very candidly about what happened as she took baby steps reach her goal to eventually speak with someone face-to-face. I think you will find her writings encouraging. Michelle accounts day-by-day what happened to her and describes step-by-step what she did. I hope these writings relieve you to know that you're not alone in taking bold steps to overcome your struggles and fears to share your faith. You can read them HERE.
