I wish I'd been told!

When I became a Christian...' officially' (I'd not ever considered myself other than a Christian), I was urged to tell my friends, tell others about Christ, my faith, the gospel, salvation...a truckload of stuff.

It must have been assumed that good theology, would drip like honey from my lips. It didn't I stumbled around with trepidation, and eventually reluctance to 'share my faith'.

No one told me how, showed me how, encouraged my the right way (by getting along-side), so I was stranded, alone and often ashamed at my attempts.

Hopeless!

But there are only a few things you need to know.

One of them is you don't need to make converts, make disciples. What we do is move people in that direction, because it takes lots of little nudges for most people to turn to Christ.

Here's a way to think about it. And an approach that respects others and yourself. And how to be effective with your faith.
