1️⃣ The Great Commission (Matthew 28:19–20)
The “Great Commission” is Jesus’ final instruction to His disciples before ascending to heaven. It is a command, not a suggestion. It reflects God’s heart for the world and His desire for all people to hear the good news.
🔹 Key Teachings:
“Go”: This is a call to action. Christians are not meant to remain idle.
“Make disciples”: Evangelism does not end with conversion—it continues with discipling and mentoring.
“All nations”: The Gospel is for everyone, regardless of race, language, or background.
“Baptizing” and “Teaching”: It’s not just about evangelism, but about bringing people into a life of obedience and growth in Christ.
“I am with you”: We are not alone in this task; Christ promises His presence
2️⃣ Why Should We Share Our Faith?
Obedience to Christ: Evangelism is not optional for a believer.
Love for Others: If we truly love others, we will desire their salvation.
Glory to God: Every soul won to Christ brings glory to God.
It Changes Lives: Sharing the Gospel transforms lives, families, and communities.
3️⃣ How to Share Your Testimony
Your personal story is a powerful tool in evangelism. No one can argue with your experience.
✨ Steps to Share Your Testimony:
- Before Christ: What was your life like before knowing Jesus?
- How You Met Christ: How did you come to faith?
- After Christ: How has your life changed since?
🔹 Tips:
Be honest and humble.
Keep it simple and avoid jargon.
Make it personal—speak from the heart.
Always point to Jesus, not just personal success.

Start conversations about life, hope, or challenges, and naturally incorporate faith.
Offer to pray for someone going through difficulties.
