daughter and I were at a park last summer when she struck up a conversation with another little girl. Within minutes, they were talking about their favorite things, and before I knew it, daughter said, “Do you know Jesus? He’s my best friend!”
Her boldness amazed me. I thought about how natural it was for her to share her faith, without fear of rejection or overthinking her words. As adults, we often complicate evangelism, worrying about how others might respond or whether we’ll say the right thing. But Jesus simply calls us to share the good news.
Evangelism isn’t about having all the answers; it’s about pointing people to Jesus. It’s living in a way that reflects His love and being ready to speak when opportunities arise. Sometimes that means having deep conversations about faith, and other times it’s as simple as offering a kind word or prayer.
I’ve learned that evangelism starts with prayer. I ask God to give me opportunities to share His love and to help me recognize them when they come. Whether it’s a stranger at the grocery store or a friend who’s struggling, I want my life to be a testimony of His grace.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for the privilege of sharing Your good news. Give me boldness and wisdom to speak about the hope I have in You. Let my words and actions point others to Your love. I give You all honor, all the glory, and all the praise. It’s in Jesus’ name I pray. Amen & Amen.
