Big Tim Keller is speaking in Berlin this week… or as he calls is Berlin, Germany! During his talk today he has just given 10 top tips on sharing you faith… He seems to be following in my own very humble footsteps on the ten top tips bandwagon, but that’s ok.. we all need role models Tim!
1. Let people know, casually and naturally, that you are a Christian.
2. Ask questions about your friends religious beliefs offering NO comment or response. Just asking thoughtful questions.
3. Invite someone to share with you about a problem they are having. Make it clear that you pray for people you care about and offer to pray for them.
4. You share a problem or issue in which your faith has really served to help you, illness, bereavement, lonliness, unemployment, etc.
then if your friend, neighbour or colleague wants to take things further
5. Share a book or recording that you think they might find helpful
6. Share your story of faith
7. Ask whether there are any problems that they have with Christianity
8. Take them along with you to church
And if they’d like to take things further
9. Meet regularly to read the Bible
10. Take them along to a discovery group eg Alpha or Christianity Explored.
I got this from a new blog I’ve found and enjoy…so HT Neil Powell check him out!!
