Witness
Ongoing general_contemplative Evangelical

Sharing the good news of Jesus through the words of your mouth and the shape of your life.

1
Pray for three people by name — friends, family, or neighbours who don't yet follow Jesus. Pray for them consistently for 90 days.
2
Cultivate genuine friendship. Witness is not a technique deployed on targets; it is love that overflows. Be genuinely present with people.
3
Be curious. Ask good questions. Listen more than you speak. Understanding someone's story is the precondition for sharing yours.
4
Share your own story simply and honestly. Not a polished testimony — just what your life was like before, how you came to faith, and what's different now.
5
Be comfortable with mystery. You don't have to have all the answers. 'I don't know, but I find this question worth sitting with' is a perfectly faithful response.
6
Invite. Invite people to church, to your home, to a conversation. Most people need multiple low-key invitations before they take a step.
Tradition & history
In Acts 1:8 Jesus tells his disciples, 'You will be my witnesses.' The earliest Christians turned the world upside down not through slick communication but through the quality of their love and the audacity of their hope.
