You’re listening to ShareLifeAfrica! What good is an empty toolbox? The answer is pretty obvious—it's not very helpful! My grandad was a tool guy. Every week, he would take part of his salary, head up to the local Sears, and buy a new tool. He was quick to tell me a saying that has been around a long time, “the right tool, for the right job.”
Of course, that applies to construction and manufacturing, or a mechanic, like my grandad; but did you know it also applies to sharing your faith? Having the right tools when we share our faith can give us the boldness we all need to step out and talk to people about Jesus. Now what might be some of those tools in your witnessing toolbox?
Well, for starters, your testimony. It doesn’t need to be your entire life story; it can be a recent example of how God is working in your life. For more suggestions on what should go into your “witnessing toolbox,” visit our website at sharelifeafrica.org

You’re listening to ShareLifeAfrica! Have you heard of the Great Commission? In a study Barna Research conducted, they found that 51% of churchgoers were not familiar with the term “The Great Commission”; another 25% had heard of it, but could not recall the meaning, and only 17% knew what it meant and could articulate it. What do stats like that mean?
Well, it's not good. As our culture moves further away from a Christian worldview, it will be all the more important that we as believers are able and willing to, “go and make disciples.” Jesus declares in the book of Matthew that “the harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.” Do you want to see more Christians be equipped to go out into the harvest field? Do you want to be better equipped? We can help. We train believers to share their faith so that together we CAN in fact fulfill the Great Commission.

You’re listening to ShareLifeAfrica! Has someone moved into your neighborhood this summer? I was surprised to learn recently that eight point four(8.4)percent of Americans move annually. That means about thirty-nine million people will move this year. And eighty percent of those moves take place between April and Labor Day. So guess what that means?
We have a great opportunity to walk over with a plate of cookies or a pie and welcome the new neighbors to the neighborhood. While chatting, you could ask if they’re looking for a new church home; and if so, suggest yours. Tell them what you like about it. You can even offer to give them a ride or meet them at the church to sit together. If they have children, make sure you know something about your church’s children’s and youth activities. Parents often choose a church with their children in mind.
Let's be welcoming neighbors and pray for the Holy Spirit's leading in every conversation. For more resources, visit our website at sharelifeafrica.org

You’re listening to ShareLifeAfrica! Here’s an example of intentional witnessing. Nou (pronounced New)and two other ladies from her church attended an evangelism training event. This was Nou’s text the day after the training.
“Our flight was cancelled so that God could lead us to talk to the manager of the hotel and share the Gospel with him. He prayed to receive Christ as his Lord and Savior.” Then a few months later, another text from Nou said, “I witnessed to sixteen of my nieces and nephews at my family reunion—ranging in age from nine to twenty-nine. Ten of them prayed to receive Christ.” And then there was yet another text: “We attended a soccer tournament and got to witness to ten people. Two prayed to receive Christ.“
That’s what happens when someone learns how to share their faith. They see the opportunities that are all around them and can't help but share their faith! For resources to help you get started in sharing your faith, visit our website at sharelifeafrica.org

You’re listening to ShareLifeAfrica! What’s your understanding of salvation? For far too many of us, our thoughts of salvation have been reduced to something like raising our hand at the altar call, "accepting Jesus", then making God a part of our lives to help us and bless us.
Not only does this rob God of His due glory, we rob ourselves of the real blessing and fulfillment that comes from subverting our will to His—making Him Lord of our life. Jesus didn't die on the cross to give us “get out of Hell free cards”; He died to restore us to Him and to completely transform us to be like Him. We have work to do as we live out our days here! In fact, Ephesians 2:10 tells us that we are specifically created to do good works that God has planned for us.
One of those good works is to share our faith with others. Need help? Check out our resources by visiting our website at sharelifeafrica.org
