Giving Our Testimony

Simple definition: a public recounting of our experience

Possible ingredients of our testimony:

. our life before becoming a follower of Jesus (very brief, do not glorify sin)
. how we came to the Lord (circumstances surrounding it, what happened)
. specific gospel truths we now believe

Possible patterns (read Paul's testimony found in Acts 22, 26):

. tailored to suit the time-constraints and your audience
. brief (like this, 'I grew up thinking I was a Christian. I wasn't. I am now.')
. more in-depth (includes some essential and interesting details)
. very in-depth (gives the specific gospel message as you explain how each important point or facet impacted your beliefs and subsequent life)

Share your testimony with your family, and with people outside your family.
