EIGHT WAYS TO SHARE CHRIST

Start with Prayer - (Co1.4:3,4)

"Lord open a door for me to talk to a lost person I know; open the heart of that lost person to hear about Christ; and open my mouth when you open the door."

(You are not the persuader, just the presenter.)

1. Be there for them in their bad times. When they are sick, grieving, in a crisis, or emergency.

2. Be there for them in their good times. Weddings, baby showers, house warming, birthdays, anniversaries.

3. Pray with them. Promise them you will talk with God about their burden.

4. Ask them if they would mind if you did it right there. Explain your personal relationship with God.

5. Write a thank you letter to them. In the course of thanking them, tell them about your relationship with Jesus

Christ and your desire that they share that relationship with you, because you care so much about them.

6. Be ready with testimonies. Have a lot of personal testimonies ready to come in through a different direction.

(What a difference Jesus makes in depressing, lonely or stressed out times.)

7. Lend them a Christian cassette, video, CD or book.Why? Because you want them to give it back to you so

you can ask them what they thought about what they read or heard. Then tell them how that message

changed your life.

8. Invite them to a Christian event: A concert, seminar, social evening, etc. Invite them over after the event for

dinner or desert and talk about what was heard, and how the Jesus they heard about there has

changed your life.

TWO IMPERATIVES WHEN SHARING CHRIST WITH SOMEONE:

1. Stick to Jesus. Don't get into life styles, habits, religion, denominations or churches, - it's all about Jesus.

2. Present a relationship. The one we were created to have, the one we don't have because we run our own lives instead of our creator running our lives,

the one we can have because of what Jesus did on the cross, and the one we must choose.

Jesus is at home in our hearts let's not keep him locked up there. Let us show on the outside!
