Practical Ways to Share the Gospel Message

We've been exploring the book of Acts at church and have been encouraged by our pastors to share the gospel message with others, as we should.

So, how are you going to do that? What's your plan of attack? We know we should be doing it but where do you start?

Here are some practical ways that you can share the gospel with people. They range from fairly easy to more difficult. I would encourage you to start where you feel comfortable and progress once you feel you are able.

1. Give out gospel tracts when no one is watching. You could put on a fake moustache, some glasses and a wig then go down town, or maybe a night-time letter box drop might be better.

2. Give out tracts in daylight, being seen by others doing it. E.g. Putting one on staff smoko table, or given as a gift.

3. Give tracts away to friends and family as part of a gift. E.g. a birthday gift.

4. Giving out tracts to non-Christian strangers after kindly introducing yourself.  E.g. "Hi there, did you get one of these?" or "Hey, I'm from one of the local churches, how's your day going? Have you seen these?"

5. Verbally sharing the gospel to groups inside a church. E.g. at after a mens breakfast or small group.

6. Verbally sharing the gospel to a non-Christian that you know. E.g. on break, at a work do or social event, in town.

8. Verbally sharing the gospel to a non-Christians that you don't know. E.g. On the street, at a work do, or social event

9. Verbally sharing the gospel to a non-Christian group that you don't know. E.g. On the street, at a work do, or social event.

BE CREATIVE
There are so many ways to communicate the message I encourage people to get creative with it, paint a picture that you can explain the gospel through, write a song, make a video, rehearse a drama or dance, enter into a debate. Whatever your gifts may be use them to glorify God and spread the message of forgiveness through Christ alone.

We have the message of everlasting life! We need to go public with this. The important thing is to start doing something, even if it's small. 

I pray that God gives us the strength, courage and boldness to share the gospel message, as we should.
