Last night was amazing. I took a class at church called New Horizons 401. The class was designed to make people more comfortable sharing their faith and evangelizing to others about the Good New of Jesus Christ.

I am not afraid of talking about my faith, but I was nervous about talking to other people about their faith. Not anymore. I am really excited and ready to find out more about other people and to be a part of leading others to Christ.

1 Corinthians 9:22 ... I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some. This verse went with the evangelism style that I have . Rather than Paul being confrontational with people, he made himself flexible to who they were in order to reach them. He talked to them in ways that they would understand. This is something that my mother taught me when I was younger. How to understand what other's needs were and to help them in the way they needed help, not how I thought they needed help.

We needed to tell another person what our story was on how we came to Christ. We cried and it was so moving. What really moved me was that I could have went through this life without Christ. How amazing is it to be a child of God. I want that for everyone that I come into contact with. May God give me direction and help me to spread the news of Christ and salvation.

Angela,
That is awesome! I will admit that I have a hard time talking to people about their faith as well. I might need to take more of a look at I Corinthians 9:22.
Would you be willing to share some more of what you learned from this class? I would love to learn as well! We must be proclaiming the Gospel despite our fears.
Thank you for sharing how God has worked in your life. He is so good! He has not only chosen us, but also enables us with the strength and boldness to carry out His work! What a wonderful God we have!
I hope you have a great day in the Lord!

Love in Christ,
Heather
