Share Life Africa

Do you realize that God is in the business of reconciliation? After coming to know the Lord, Sunny and Roshna learned to share their faith through EE classes and immediately began sharing the Gospel. They were converted to Jesus from their former religion, and do you know where they started sharing the Gospel?

Well, at their former place of worship! Roshna said as they shared their testimony, you could hear a pin drop! The name of Jesus was being preached, with love, in a place His Name had never been. If that’s not bridging the gap, I don’t know what is! Jesus’ love bridges the gap between our sinfulness and God’s righteousness. Aren’t you glad that through Him, we can have Eternal Life because He made a way for us?

There are so many stories in the Bible where Jesus urges us to bridge the gap and reconcile sinners to God. So let's make it a priority to do just that.

"What would you say true love is?" You’ll get many answers in return and an opportunity to ask them, "Can I tell you about how I have found the greatest love I have ever experienced?"

This can lead to a spiritual conversation where you can share your testimony of when you received Christ and understood God’s love. His love is different from human affection because it is unfailing, sacrificial, and never-ending. He showed it clearly through sending His only Son to earth to live the perfect life we couldn't and die in our place.

Through His sacrifice, we have an opportunity to accept what He has done and be forgiven of all of our sins. What an amazing gift! And He offers it to all who would believe.

Hudson Taylor said even though he endured great hardships and tragedies in his lifelong mission work in China, "I never made a sacrifice." He counted all the riches of this world (or even the basic comforts) as a loss in gratitude for Jesus' sacrifice.

In Matthew sixteen, Jesus told His disciples, "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me." You see, we carry our crosses in gratitude to Jesus! And through the hardships, we tell others the Good News of the Gospel. In Lebanon, a family came to know Jesus. And when the people of their village heard, they started persecuting them.

But both they and the Christians who led them to Jesus started sharing about Christ, and the village deemed that their faith was not dangerous and accepted them with peace. Many more have come to saving faith in Jesus since then.

Want to know how you too can share your faith?

There's a phrase I’ve heard Christian comedians and pastors use as a joke: "If that doesn’t light your fire, your woods wet!" Well, joking aside, it's actually a sobering statement.

You see, they’re talking about motives, and our motives matter to God. If we are operating in our day-to-day lives for our own sake, we’re missing the purpose God has for us and we aren't living in gratitude for what He has done. When we truly understand the cost of what God paid for our salvation, thankfulness comes first. God comes first. And His glory and commission to us to share the Gospel with every creature becomes vitally important.

A grateful people will share what God has done in their lives—and testimonies will abound. You can read some today if you like and learn to write down your own at what's my story dot org.

Let's put God's glory first and share our gratitude with others. Who can you share your testimony with this week?

Did you know that gratitude goes hand-in-hand with grace? It makes sense when you think about it! The definition of grace is "the undeserved favor of God." Romans three twenty-four (3:24) says that we "are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus."

You know, the natural response to a gift as big as the undeserved grace of God towards us—a people who chose rebellion against our Creator—is gratitude. And if it wasn't, there would be something seriously wrong! Have you witnessed a new believer be on fire for God? You can hardly contain them from telling everyone around them about what God has done in their life! "Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me!"

That should be our daily, natural, thankful response to God—we should tell everyone around us about what Jesus did for us on the cross. Not sure how to share this Good News? Well, we're here to help!

"Gratitude is an offering precious in the sight of God, and it is one that the poorest of us can make and be no poorer but richer for having made it." This quote by A.W. Tozer shares an important truth about thankfulness—it has great power.

A grateful heart is not only valuable to God, but it also makes us quite different from most of humanity. Before having a relationship with Jesus, all of us were dead in our sins. And there are many who still operate that way and need to hear the Good News of the Gospel. It goes against our sinful natures to be thankful.

But when we look outside of ourselves and realize that the grace and mercy that God offers, we don’t deserve, we become thankful. Because this is the Father's love for us—that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

So let's be salt and light in a world that desperately needs to hear the Gospel. Who can you share with?

What is the nature of our ministry? You might ask, "Vincent...what do you mean by that?" Well, every day we have a choice.

We can either walk in joy, peace, and thankfulness or spiral into frustration and discouragement. And let's face it: life is busy. And in the busy-ness we can easily lose sight of what's important. And perhaps the highest calling that we’ve been given is to share the Gospel with others—and to do it with gratitude to God.

We should model ourselves after Paul, who labored for the Lord with a thankful heart. Because true gratitude causes action. And to be thankful, we can’t just sit around. We have to give back or pass it on! And when we share the Gospel with others out of gratitude to God, others will see that thankfulness radiate from our hearts.

So let me encourage you today, look for ways to share the Good News of the Gospel with others!

Everyone needs real hope, including today’s teens. This was Bryr’s testimony that he shared with us on what’s my story dot org: “Before I received eternal salvation, I struggled with anxiety... In Secondary School, I’d have anxiety attacks because I felt different. I was smaller than the other boys, and I couldn’t understand why—or how—to be happy in my own skin. [...]

But God placed amazing people in my life who led me to Christ. Through Him, I found purpose and meaning. I no longer suffer from anxiety. I now see that being different isn’t a flaw—it’s part of God’s design. I’ve learned how to use the gifts He gave me to share His Word.”

Bryr found purpose and meaning through a relationship with Jesus and now shares that with others. So let’s disciple the teenagers in our churches to do the same—because you never know who in their lives needs the very same hope only found!

When you disciple a teenager to share their faith, you don’t just impact one life—you begin a ripple effect. I mean, think about it: one equipped teen can reach dozens of friends. They can disciple those friends the same way they were—by teaching them how to grow in their faith and share the Gospel with others.

And then those friends go out and do the same—it’s multiplication! But discipleship doesn’t happen by accident. It’s intentional. It’s time spent talking with teens, walking them through resources, having practice conversations with them, and praying through fear. It’s reminding teens that sharing the Gospel matters and that others need to hear it. And when they get it, watch out.

Because teens don’t just talk—they act. They invite. They post. They pray. They go. But they need someone to show them how. And that someone might be you. Who’s the teenager in your life that needs to be equipped? Let's not miss this opportunity.

Have you ever heard it said that evangelism is better “caught than taught”? Well, it’s true! So when it comes to equipping Christian teenagers, we must actually do what we say we believe. If we’re not living lives marked by bold, loving Gospel conversations, why would they?

Discipling teens to share their faith begins with showing them how it’s done and walking with them as they try it for themselves. And that’s why we at EE are so passionate about On-The-Job training, where a trainer shows what having a Gospel conversation is like. And training a teenager to share their faith is about helping them see people the way Jesus does, giving them courage to share the Gospel, and reminding them that the Holy Spirit does the real work.

And when teens are discipled, they grow deeper roots and broader reach. They become influencers for Christ in their classrooms, on their sports teams, and communities. If you’d like more information on how to disciple a teenager in evangelism, visit www.eeafrica.org.
