Notes from March 30, 2008

1. “Relationship Evangelism” (an article in the Navigator’s 2:7 series) suggests the following attitudes necessary to effectively sharing the gospel: must be willing to initiate relationships; must show the same kind of acceptance toward sinners that Jesus did; must be willing to identify with Christ early in a relationship; and must depend upon God in prayer for the process.
2. Two things are essential to sharing our faith: a ready testimony (1 Peter 3:15,16), and a plan for sharing the gospel.
3. Navigator’s 2:7 suggests three formats as an outline for most testimonies::
-adult conversion
-early conversion/adult full commitment
-early conversion/consistent growth
