Resources for Sharing Your Faith

Sharing your faith is one of the greatest joys of being a follower of Christ. We hope that all believers can do the following:

1. Articulate your own unique story or “testimony” of coming to faith in Christ
2. Learn how to share the good news of Jesus Christ from the Scriptures
3. Develop an authentic faith in Christ that is demonstrated in all areas of your life
4. Develop an authentic faith in Christ that is demonstrated in all areas of your life

By sharing our faith, we grow in our own obedience to Christ, while at the same time advancing God's Kingdom, one life at a time.

5. "Questioning Evangelism" by Randy Newman
   MBC attendee Randy Newman, points out that most evangelism training is focused on either declaring and defending the gospel, both critical skills for effective evangelism. However, his book focuses on a third skill which he refers to as dialoguing the gospel. Randy explains this often neglected skill is absolutely essential if we are serious about sharing the gospel in the 21st century.
