How do I share my faith with someone?

Keep it simple

You don't need to be an expert or win a debate. Share what you know — what Jesus has done in your life — with gentleness and respect.

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear.

— 1 Peter 3:15 (KJV)

Conversation starters

• “Can I share something that changed my life?”
• “Do you ever think about what happens after this life?”
• “Would it be okay if I prayed for you about that?”
• Ask about their story first — then listen well.

Your story, in three parts

1. What my life was like before Christ.
2. How I came to trust Jesus.
3. What's different now.

Then point to Jesus

Offer to walk through the Romans Road together, or simply share John 3:16. Invite — don’t argue. The Holy Spirit does the work of changing hearts.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth.

— Romans 1:16 (KJV)
