OMT Training: Week 2

When it comes to sharing our faith with others, regardless of what kind of "talker" we are, we tend to clam up and don't say anything. Why is that? What are some reasons we struggle to share our faith? When it comes to telling what Jesus did for mankind ("His Story") and what Jesus did for you ("Your Story"), there are some basic steps we must follow:

1. PRAY: Prayer should be the foundation for everything we do. We need to ask God to give us the words to use every time we open our mouth (Ephesians 6:19).


2. PREPARE: "Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.” (1 Peter 3:15)


3. KNOW GOD'S WORD: God's Word equips us for every good work (2 Timothy 3:16). If we mediatate on it, we will be successful (Joshua 1:8). Know how to answer even the basic questions about your faith: Who is Jesus? Why did He come? What did He do for us?


4. KNOW YOUR STYLE: Some people are talkative story tellers. Some people are bold and direct. Some people use their intelligence. Some people are more relational. Know what works for you and how you can best relate that to your audience.
