Be The Light!

According to Christianity Today, Christian teenagers don’t know a lot about traditional evangelism, but they’re eager to talk with friends about the Lord. The magazine told of Treyson West, who was recently sitting with a friend in a car talking about the struggles of life. As Treyson talked about God, the friend said, “My heart feels, like, warm.”

“Dude, that’s the Holy Spirit,” said Treyson. The friend received Christ as Savior there in the car.

Learning to share our faith in a natural way is a big step. It can be frightening, but much of the fear evaporates when we make it natural. When we learn to converse, listen, care, and pray, the Lord opens the door for our witness. Often, our words will be like seeds planted in the heart, but sometimes we’ll rejoice at seeing others profess faith in Christ in the moment. We can say, “That’s the Holy Spirit!” (Turning Point with Dr. David Jeremiah)

This devotion from Turning Point encouraged me because we DO train Christian volunteers to share the Gospel with children in terms they can understand.  That often leads the child to become a Mighty Missionary because they can share it with other friends, siblings, parents and many others.  Before I was trained in CEF, I was intimated to share with others.  But as I would train new volunteers I told them once you lead a child to Christ, you will lead adults… the process is the same.  There is no reason to use a more complicated method, or one that ‘feels’ more sophisticated.  

So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Romans 10:17.

Hundreds of children heard the Word of God last week in Good News Club and will again this week.  Pray with us that the Holy Spirit will use each volunteer as His instrument to give the children  faith to believe and receive salvation.

To God be the glory,

You don’t have to use fancy methods for sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ. Just stick with the basics, and proclaim the Good News with simplicity!  Luis Palau
