Notes:
Recap: relating your testimony with someone else, listening for a problem, concern, issue; transitioning to your testimony, “I haven’t been through the exact situation that you mentioned, but I have had similar problems.”
- Statistics say that 75-89% of people would listen to someone share his or her faith
Other ways you can transition:
- “What do you mean when you say…”
- In your opinion do you think people are basically good or bad?
- Would you consider yourself spiritual/religious? What does that look like?
- What do you think happens after you die?
Gospel Tool - All include Creation/Fall/Rescue/Restoration

I) Group Discussion
1) Review Homework Challenge: What specific problems, issues, or concerns did you hear in your conversations this past week?
How might the gospel impact those problems?
2) How have you been encouraged or challenged by this training?
3) What are the FOUR key components of the gospel message?
(Creation/God’s Design, Fall/Brokenness, Rescue, Restoration)
4) What must a person do in order to be saved?
5) If a person repents and believes in Jesus as their savior, what are your next steps with them?
If a person doesn’t repent and believe what is your next step with them?
II) Homework
1) Type out your testimony and email it to Pastor Sean, salford@fbcsumter.org, by Wednesday, March 20th.
2) Prayerfully consider at least THREE people that you will pray for by name on a daily or regular basis.
These shouldn’t be random people, but people who you want to spend time with and connect with, people God has burdened your heart for.
Use the following as a guide to pray for them:
· Name
· Notes (what have you learned about them personally and spiritually?)
· Needs (what are their spiritual and physical needs)
3) Ask another Christian friend or family member if they would share their testimony with you.
("How did you come to believe Christ and how has Christ impacted your life?") AND ask if you can share your testimony with them.
4) Share your testimony with another non-Christian friend or family member.
