We will lovingly reach out to people in the sphere of our own influence and community for others to experience the life changing message of Jesus Christ
GOSPEL BRIDGE:Finding Those God Has Prepared
The Holy Spirit is preparing the lost person for conversion, convicting them of their sin, showing them the need for things to be made right with God and assuring them that bad things will result if they don’t change (John 16:8). It is the same today, God is preparing people to be harvested for the kingdom. We only need to do our part — share the Gospel. Here is a simple way on how to bridge the Gospel:
1. SECULAR LIFE
Start where the people are. Know them in advance by praying and befriending them. If it is your initial meeting, take time to connect with them. Ask questions on general topics for discussion. At this time, don’t ask sensitive and too personal questions. You may also share your life to develop trust between the two of you.
2. SPIRITUAL TOPICS
Use his words as springboards to talk about his spiritual principles and experiences. Just be perceptive while going through this level. Listen and wait for the right time, you may ask their religious background but without judging them as erroneous or heretic. When he opens up problems, be willing to listen.
3. STORYING
Bridge your conversations to your personal testimony of
how God works and saved your life. Be a living witness by storying your changed life. Make it short and simple. Just share your life without Christ and how He changed you today. Practice sharing your testimony and the
Gospel presentation over and over until you became familiar with them. And as you share, make it simple, clear and with confidence.
“You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit–fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name” -Jesus (John 15:16).
That’s it! Let’s bridge the Gospel to people, only then we will know who the receptive people are. Let us now go and bear fruit!
