A Community Impact

You’re listening to ShareLifeAfrica! Things happen when a community comes together. We see this time and time again in our neighborhoods, cities, and country. And this very same principle applies to telling others about Jesus. We are stronger together.

In Namibia, Africa, this is happening all across the country. But I'd love to share with you an example of the local churches. They came together for an evangelism training event for children's workers, where they taught Hope For Kids, a program that disciples children to share their faith. And then, they took it back to their churches and started implementing it. And children in the community's lives started to change. And through that, the community started to change.

This was all because Christians like you and me decided to come together and to make an impact. And these believers were part of over 2 million children coming to know Jesus in the past year all over the world. And we praise God for that!

Teach a Man to Fish

You’re listening to ShareLifeAfrica! Do you remember that old saying...catch a man a fish, and he will eat for a day.But teach a man to fish, and he will eat for a lifetime. Some incredible things happen when we disciple others on how to grow. And this same principle applies to teaching others how to share their faith.

This is important because firstly, they can confidently share the Gospel with their friends and family. But secondly—and as important as the first benefit, they can mentor others in how to share their faith too. And this multiplies the amount of people hearing the Good News of the Gospel. Let me give you an example. In Nigeria last year, one hundred and forty-six thousand children were discipled in how to share their faith, and one million four hundred and sixty-four thousand other children gave their hearts to Jesus. Just think about what heaven is going to look like one day.

Becoming All Things

You’re listening to ShareLifeAfrica! The Apostle Paul says in his first letter to the Corinthians, "I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some." This doesn't mean that we compromise the truth of the Bible, but it does mean that we should think about the people that we’re trying to reach.

We can find ways to engage with them in order to have a deep, spiritual conversation with them. In Africa, we have trainers that wear traditional outfits into the surrounding villages, that they might be accepted by those cultures in order to share the Gospel. Many have come to know Jesus because of the faithfulness of these believers as they go and share while respecting the way they dress. May we take encouragement from this in reaching those around us. Let’s ask ourselves...what are their interests? What do they wear? Where do they spend a lot of their time?

We can use these things as we tell them about Jesus. For more tips and resources to share your faith, visit sharelifeafrica.org

Let the Children Come

You’re listening to ShareLifeAfrica! Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” This famous passage from Matthew nineteen shows us Jesus' heart—God loves the little children of the world. And He wants to have a personal relationship with them!

Something I prayed over my own children is that they would know the Lord at the earliest possible age. And, you know,we have an opportunity in our communities and families to share the hope found in Christ with our children. You know, in Africa, we have been doing this through a program called Hope for Kids. Children are learning the key points of the Gospel,and they’re giving their hearts to Jesus. They also are learning how they can clearly share it with their friends as well!

And last year, we saw over three million children put their trust in Jesus alone for eternal life. Learn more about how you can share your faith at sharelifeafrica.org

A Dangerous Christian

You’re listening to ShareLifeAfrica! This summer, we are spotlighting a little of what God is doing around the world; and this week, we are hearing stories from Africa. And let me tell you...there are exciting things happening in Africa.

Just this past year alone through evangelism training events alone, we saw nine million people make professions of faith in Jesus. And that happened through over seven hundred and fifty thousand believers learning how to share their faith—both adults and children. These Christians were in churches, schools, and even prisons; and they began to share the Gospel and reach their communities for Jesus. You want to make a Christian dangerous to the enemy?

Teach them how to share the Good News! The Bible says the gates of Hell will not prevail against Christ's church. Let's do the same as our African brothers-and sisters-in-Christ—let's take the Good News of what Jesus has done on the cross to our communities.
