Your message includes testimony

Tell other of the difference he made for you - 1 Peter 2:9

Witnessing = simply sharing your personal experiences regarding the Lord

In court witness are NOT expected to:

• Prove the truth
• Argue the case
• Press for a verdict

Witnesses simply report what happened to them or what they saw
You will be my witnesses - Acts 1:8

Personal stories:

• Easier to relate to than principles
• Capture our attention
• People are naturally curious about experiences they never have had
• Builds a relational bridge
• Bypasses intellectual defenses

Be ready to all times to answer for your hope - 1 Peter 3:15-16

Four parts of your testimony:

1. What my life was before Christ
2. How I realized I needed Jesus
3. How I committed my life to Jesus
4. The difference Jesus has made in my life
