Prayer, Care and Share Jesus * The Prayer, Care and Share Jesus (PCS) series is a guide to help you PRAY and CARE for others and SHARE your faith in Jesus * “How will YOU lead someone to Christ?” Scripture: Acts 2:37-41 The Bible tells us that Apostle Peter preached the salvation message to a crowd gathered for a religious festival, and three thousand souls were saved! Last week we presented a variety of ways to present the gospel. This week we challenge you to ask God, which one is best for you? He knows! Then, when you hear from Him, use it. When you are watchful, alert and expectant, you will see God-given opportunities to lead others to Christ right in the midst of your everyday circumstances! Here are two personal examples that God can work out in similar ways for you: • After months and years of a steadily nurtured friendship, my friend said: Now tell me: how can I follow your Christ like you do? • After asking a shopping mall guard how I could pray for him, he said: Yes, how may I get Jesus to save me? Both of these things really did happen! Here are some more tips on ways to share your faith: • Always carry gospel tracts (if you have one) to give to people who might ask, or to anyone the Holy Spirit might prompt you to share with. • Be prepared with a short verbal method of sharing the gospel (godlife/gospel/) as well as a detailed one such as the Romans Road (see gotquestions.org/Romans-road-salvation.html). • You can even draw the gospel message on a piece of paper. This site shows how you can use a simple diagram to explain that Jesus is the “Bridge” from death to life: navigators.org/resources/shared/tools/bridge.pdf Remember that sharing the gospel is more than just sharing facts; it’s an invitation to a new life. Always give someone the chance to say “yes” to Jesus’ love and forgiveness. If they are willing, lead them in a prayer asking for forgiveness of their sins and inviting Jesus to be their Lord and Savior. Your PRAY NOW Challenge: Lord, assist me to find and master a way(s) suitable to me, to lead seekers to You. May Your Name be glorified, Lord Jesus! Amen.
