How to prepare your testimony starts with your story. Do you find it challenging to explain how you came to believe in God, or what he means to you? It is important to be able to write out and tell your personal testimony because it helps to put into words some of the key details of your relationship with Christ. Our individual stories are some of the most powerful discipleship and evangelism tools because they are so deeply unique to us. How this helps: Sharing how you came to know God personally is one of the most powerful ways you can help friends grasp God’s love. This resource outlines the power of your story and how you can share Christ with others in an authentic way.
