After experiencing what it was like to share the Gospel, Magdeline’s heart caught fire for sharing the Good News with everyone that she came across. She was so passionate an…

The Holy Spirit really works through us. Audry took a long bus ride to the northern part of Burundi, Africa, and sat next a woman who introduced herself as Chantal. Now naturally, the conversation turned to spiritual things, and Audry was able to share with her the Good News of the Gospel. When he started sharing about Jesus, Audry wanted to ask, “…

As we continue sharing what God is doing around Africa; I want to share with you an inspiring story from Uganda. Denis took a team that he was discipling to a football field for what we call “On The Job training.” They saw someone seated dangerously on a cliff at the edge of the field. If the man wasn’t careful, he would fall and get hurt. Denis an…

Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” This famous passage from Matthew nineteen shows us Jesus' heart—God loves the little children of the world. And He wants to have a personal relationship with them! Something I prayed over my own children is that they would k…

There are exciting things happening in Africa. Just this past year through evangelism training events, we saw over twenty million people make professions of faith in Jesus. And that happened through over one million believers learning how to share their faith—both adults and children. These Christians were in churches, schools, and even prisons; an…

Psalm thirty-six five(36:5)tells us, “Your steadfast love, O LORD, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds.” It’s so true—God is faithful. And I love telling other people about how faithful He has been to me. It reminds me of the passage in Joshua 4, where the Israelites cross over the Jordan River. When God parted the waters, Joshu…

What have you seen God do in your life? The truth is, we all have hundreds of what we like to call “God stories.” These are times you’ve experienced God moving in your life, like the moment you put your saving faith in Jesus or a change He’s brought about, an answered prayer, a restored relationship. When sharing one of your “God stories” with anot…

In a culture that combats finding what is true and what is a lie, people now more than ever are looking for genuine, authentic relationships. They want to hear the truth. And when it comes to sharing our testimonies, it’s important to remember to be genuine and vulnerable while telling others our story, of how God saved us through Jesus Christ. God…

I meet a lot of Christians who tell me that their story doesn't matter. Maybe that’s you! Have you ever questioned the significance of your testimony or thought that no one was interested in hearing it? Allow me to share a profound truth from Revelation 12:11 with you: “And they overcame [the enemy] by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of thei…

How do we make the connection? When it comes to sharing the most important part of our lives, our relationship with Jesus, how do we naturally and lovingly start the conversation? Think about what you like to talk about with your friends. You want to hear about their life! And this is true about your coworkers, friends, and family—they want to know…

If you’ve seen someone leave a Gospel tract in a restaurant or hand one to a stranger walking by, have you ever thought, “I wonder if they’ll read it?” I’d like to suggest that our first and best response should be to ask the Holy Spirit to compel the person to read it as He did with Philip. Philip was sitting on a park bench talking on his phone w…

I’ve heard people say that tracts don’t work anymore. They say that they’re a thing of the past. Well, don’t tell that to Doctor (Dr.) Varga. More than a decade ago, a stranger handed her a tract –one of our tracts, to be precise. The tract prompted her curiosity. She read it, discovered the free gift of eternal life, and trusted Jesus Christ as he…

Some people criticize tract evangelism, saying that it’s cold, impersonal, or even outdated. But the truth is, it works. Dale and George worshiped at the same church. And following the service, Dale gave George a Gospel tract, thinking that George could use the tract to evangelize. George took it home with him, but instead of sharing it with a frie…

It’s unthinkable. It’s February 1975, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. You leave a Gospel tract with a young fueling station attendant you come across while you’re filling your tank. He takes the tract, shoves you, gives you an earful; and while you’re stammering for words, he walks away. Now, if you’re someone who likes to hand out Gospel tracts, you’…

How do you start a conversation about Jesus? Sometimes, all it takes is having something to connect over. When Jesus was at the well in Samaria, he started a conversation on spiritual things with the Samaritan woman by using the water in the well! They began talking about physical water through Jesus asking for a drink. By the end of the conversati…

What does your day-to-day look like? Do you get on a bus to get to work or carpool? How many trips do you make during your day...to get lunch, to stop at a grocery store, or run an errand?

Our busy lives operate in community groups, and I’m not talking about Sunday school classes or weekly life groups at church. These community groups are made up of parents, even grandparents gathered at the local youth baseball diamond, the club volleyball tournament, the high school soccer game. We have opportunities to be a part of hundreds of dif…

You know, I really believe with all of my heart that sharing the Gospel is the most important task that believers can do. And that’s why I love to share my faith. Jesus used the most ordinary things to lead people to Himself. At a well, Jesus spoke of Himself as the Water of Life that quenches a deep thirst. To the hungry, He presented Himself as t…

In a recent study done by BarnaResearch, half of Generation Z Christians they surveyed said that they believe “letting your actions speak rather than using words to explain your faith” is evangelism. Fifty percent! Now today, we’re going to tackle two important things we need to know regarding words and actions when it comes to evangelism. First, y…

Remember, it is the Gospel itself, not our clever answers or power of persuasion that is the “power of God unto salvation.” When you’re sharing the Gospel, and you encounter an objection, the goal is to deal with the objection as simply and quickly as possible and then continue with the Gospel. Two keys to remember are first, to research their ques…

Psalm 73 says it well, “My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” Through the deep gratitude that we have for our Savior, we use the strength He gives us to serve others. And it’s a delight to His heart when we do. Jesus said in Matthew twenty-five that if we help the less fortunate...”whatever you…

I don’t know about you; but sometimes it seems like we could use some armor. Between the temperature of our culture and the crazy things that we see on the news, some protection would be welcome! Ephesians six tells us that we should “put on the whole armor of God, that [we] may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrest…

As you go about your daily tasks, whether good or bad experiences come your way, I pray you’ll be strengthened and held by the grace that is in Christ. You kn…

How do we live with strength? Do you know that when you become a child of God through placing your faith in Jesus alone, you receive the strength of Almighty God? We see a picture of this in one of my favorite Psalms: “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” He is our bulwark—or fortress, in other words—that never fails. A…

What do you think true strength is? I think oftentimes, strength is attributed to the physically strong. We see people join the special forces training in the military and go through tasks that make even the strongest physically buckle. But you know, that’s not what real strength is. In fact, it’s something that isn’t dependent on how weak or stron…

(Season 65: Episode 05) “In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,a wondrous beauty I see, for 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died, to pardon and sanctify me.” What a beautiful way George Bennard described the cross of Christ in this famous hymn. This, this is the Good News of the Gospel! In the horrible, painful image of …

(Season 65: Episode 04) During the very first Easter Week, Jesus celebrated the Last Supper with his disciples the night before He was crucified.

(Season 65: Episode 03) As we continue walking through Easter together, today I want to look ahead to Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. In the Gospels, we see Jesus pray through the night asking God to take the cup of what was to happen from Him. If you or I stood in His shoes—facing the wrath of Almighty God for the sins of the world—we probably …

(Season 64: Episode 05) “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” Have you heard this beautiful chapter before? In Psalms 23, we see a picture of what resting in the Lord is like.

(Season 64: Episode 04) “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life...” You see, God is holy and perfect.

And in modern times, sometimes these laws of God are looked down u…

(Season 64: Episode 02) Have you ever thought, "I just don't know if I can make it into Heaven?" Well, the truth is, you can't! You absolutely cannot make it into Heaven by relying on yourself and your good works. None of us will ever be good enough to get into Heaven. Now if that sounds like really bad news to you, it's actually quite the opposite…

(Season 64: Episode 01) As we continue our series, “The Real Light,” this week, I want to ask you...what do you think real righteousness is?

(Season 63: Episode 03) What's keeping you from sharing the Gospel? Are you afraid that people won't take the time to have a Gospel conversation with you? Well, one of the neat things I’ve gotten to see over the years is what we at EE (Evangelism Explosion) call “Divine Appointments.” The Holy Spirit is already drawing people to Himself, and when w…

(Season 63: Episode 02) As we continue our series called “The Real Light,” let me ask you...what do you think a real fear of God is?

In fact, the book of Proverbs describe…

(Season 63: Episode 01) Here’s a question: what are you known for? Jesus says in John thirteen thirty five(13:35), "By this all people will know that you’re my disciples, if you have love for one another.” Over and over again, the Bible urges us to love one another. After all, it is the Father's love that compelled Him to make a way for us to be wi…
