Let me first say, that if you are not sharing your faith on a regular basis...you are missing out. Much like an individual who knows everyhting about boxing and has even been trained in how to box, yet stays in the gym practicing and never has the experience of getting into the ring. When you share your faith you step into that ring!
Here is a step by step way to effectively share your faith and stay on track, without chasing rabits or unexpected responses. This is called the W.D.J.D. method. It involves 4 stepping stones as you venture out across the scary waters of evengelism. Always remember that you can do all things through Christ who gives you strength. Even when it comes to sharing your faith. Also remember that the scripture says that the righteous are as bold as lions!
I would recommend getting comfortable with strangers. Start saying "Hi how are you doing!" everytime you run into a stranger. Remember when sharing your faith to others, the worst that can happen is rejection!
First of all we have all heard or seen of the WWJD (What Would Jesus Do) merchandise. What I am introducing to you today is the WDJD (What Did Jesus Do)...it also shows you a great way for you to have structure, confidence, and the ability to stay on track when sharing your faith. This method involves using the 10 Commandments when sharing one's faith.
It is helpful to have a good/simple track to use when going out to share your faith. (Notice I said go out....don't sit and wait for people to come to you!)
It is easy to approach someone with a tract and say,
"Did you get one of these yet? It is a tract of the gospel message?"
Then ask them,
"Do you have a church background?" ( Even if they answer yes or no, you can go onto the next question which is the first of the WDJD method:
W- Would you consider yourself to be a good person?
