We tell of the love of God.
Your story matters. It’s natural to want to pass on good news.
Sharing faith deepens spiritual growth as individuals become confident in expressing what Jesus means to them.
A church that encourages testimony and witness creates a missional culture where the gospel is shared naturally through relationships and outreach.
Numerical growth may follow when people feel invited and welcomed into the journey of faith, especially when they hear compelling stories of transformation.
Action ideas
- Run an Everyone an Evangelist course.
- Have regular testimony slots in worship – authentic real stories of encounter with God, that do not have to be dramatic.
- Take small steps in talking about God with each other inside the church to build confidence.
- Participate in the Methodist Church’s annual witness campaign.
- Recruit two to three people in the congregation who can talk to ‘enquirers’, or anyone who is ‘spiritually seeking’, to meet with them and speak to them about their faith, answer their questions and bring them into community.
