When we share our faith with another person, we are engaging in a trialogue – a three way conversation. Those three are you, the person with whom you are sharing and the Holy Spirit. Make no mistake – the Holy Spirit is the most important on that list. 

So, there is verbal conversation taking place as you do your best to share the Gospel with your friend. Along with that, there is some non-verbal communication taking place.  This is why prayer is so valuable to witnessing.  We depend upon the Holy Spirit to help us – to witness – to communicate effectively. 

And we depend upon the Holy Spirit to bring understanding to the person that’s hearing the Gospel. The famous Charles Spurgeon summed this up very well: “We speak the Gospel to the person’s ear, and the Holy Spirit transports the Gospel from the ear to the heart."
