Many times when people hear the word Evangelism they panic. They think I can't just walk up to someone and share my faith. It's weird and awkward! Well I want to help you over come your fears. I too am not always confident talking to a complete stranger but lets face it in the end it's the only thing that matters.
I'm not sure how many of you know but since January I (Laura) have had the privilege of Teacher Aiding for one of my favorite classes (Evangelism) and professors at seminary to date. This week I was tasked to read through an assignment where students were asked to come up with 50 ways to share the gospel. Some people were very creative! Out of the 1750 ways I read about I wanted to highlight 25 of my favorite.
I hope they will inspire you the way they inspired me! Some of these are so easy!! Not scary or awkward at all!
