Today I read chapters 2 thru 4 of Share Jesus Without Fear by William Fay. Sharing the gospel is an imperative (Matt 28:19-20). According to the Institute of American Church Growth established by Win Arn, showed that 75-90% of new believers come to Christ thru a friend or acquaintance who explains the good news on a 1-1 basis. To further motivate avoiding the sin of silence, he shares the fact that unbelievers must hear the gospel an average of 7.6 times.
Fay’s five diagnostic questions are smart. The approach is wise. Ask someone, “do you have any spiritual beliefs?” and if they push back in any way, back off. The Holy Spirit has not yet prepared the person. In other words, the entire diagnostic process is designed for the presenter to mainly listen to the person and follow the Holy Spirit’s leadership. I’m praying God will give me opportunity to it out this week.
