What are the five ways you can share your faith with others?
- Invitational sharing

What is invitational sharing?
Inviting friends to christian events, to your house, over for dinner (invite them to be a part of your life). This way they can hear the gospel or meet someone who can communicate Christ’s Good News effectively. It is good when your friend can relate to an event ot to a person because of similar interests, life experiences, personalities, etc
Visitation sharing
Special because if they have visited you, then you do the same in return with 2 or three other believers to go to someones home and get to know them better, answer questions, and share about Jesus.
What is Team Sharing
We are to go out into the entire world and share the gospel. Do this in teams so believers can work together in unity and strategically share the gospel with others. Examples: street preaching, walking or driving through neighborhoods to pray for God to protect and bless them all, and for people to come to know Jesus; setting a booth in a community fair (our just a community), handing out bibles to people, giving resources (food hampers, medical supplies, educational materials) to people and then sharing the gospel with them,doing spiritual questionaries with people to help them think about spiritual issues and answer questions for them. To be successful is by having Christ’s approach to friendship.
Jesus approached strangers - Mark 1:38
What is Personal Sharing?
Sharing your testimony with people you know. Important because you have more credibilty with people in your sphere of influence than others would. The friendship in FORGIVE model is important here because you need to have the tright attitude and be listening to God and the person your with to understand their current condition and what God wishes for you to communicate to them.
What is Street Preaching?
Set up a booth in a community and share the gospel with a team of believers. Your are proclaiming the gospel boldly and your can good and bad responses. You reach a larger audience. People who know they are saved, that Jesus is the way, and have a personal testimony can street preach. Make sure your have team members who are haring gospel tracts, personally connecting with audience members, and taking contacts.
How do we offer love and forgiveness to others?
When someone wrongs or offends you it is important to not become negative nor sever ties. Do as Jesus did and forgive them, and find a place in them to love. How to do this:
1. Look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself: Do I have faults hat need forgiveness for? What if God or no else forgave me and refuse to love me anymore, and how would that make me feel?
2. See others as God sees you. They are no different from you, you make mistakes just like them and need love in your life.
3. Have Christ-like compassion for them. Whether thay deserve it or not find a way to offer them love and forgiveness, emulate the love God has for you to them.
Doing this unconditionally proves we are walking in Christs footsteps.
