The Final Week of Class!

This week in class we will be signing our commitments to God to be active in our witness and not shy away from opportunities to spread the Gospel. To no longer be afraid of witnessing and that we will go forward and SHARE JESUS WITHOUT FEAR using the tools we've learned in our class and with God's help!

I would like to hear a story or two this week of some witnessing experiences and also how some of your outlooks on witnessing has changed since starting this class. I know that as I prepared to teach this class each week I continually am learning new things about witnessing. Not to mention learning the patience and wisdom to step back and let God's Word and the Holy Spirit do the work on the unbeliever.

We have to remember that no matter how hopeless we think someone is, God's Word can do all the work that is required to convict someone. It is our job to share that Word and be ready to pray with them when the situation is right. There isn't anything any one of us can do to "make" someone get saved. We also have to remember that just because someone didn't accept Christ while we witnessed to them does not mean that we have failed. Success is sharing the gospel with an individual. Remember that when you witness with the right heart and share God's Word, we do not fail. Isaiah 55:11 "God's Word does not return to Him void..."

I look forward to seeing you in class this week. Also remember this is the final class period for points, so get those pictures of your yard signs and bring those visitors!

  1. I feel like I work and live with people who have already accepted salvation and I don't encounter many people who are still seeking Christ. This class has really opened my eyes/heart to the number of people I come into contact with who may want to hear the gospel.

  2. I can't believe how fast the weeks have gone. I've learned so much from this class. A couple of examples: that it takes on average 7.6 times for someone to hear the gospel before accepting Christ; also that it is going to be really important to be a good listener as we share the gospel, which will let the person know that we really care. Now comes the true test -- to apply all that we’ve learned and pray that we begin to see lives changed!
