Share Life Africa

According to Barna research, only 19% of Christian teens say they’ve personally been discipled in how to share their faith. That’s right...less than one in five. And meanwhile, teens are navigating complex cultural conversations every day — conversations about identity, justice, truth — without knowing how to bring Jesus into them.

And if we don’t disciple them, the world will and already is. Discipling teens to share their faith isn’t just a “nice-to-have.” It’s essential. And they can absolutely be incredible witnesses for the Kingdom of God. First Timothy four twelve (4:12) says, “Don’t let anyone look down on you because of your youth….”

Let's equip the young people of our church, walk with them, answer their questions, and show them how to talk about their faith confidently.

Did you know one of the largest mission fields isn’t across the ocean—but it’s in our own communities and schools? In our high schools, Christian teenagers are surrounded daily by friends and classmates searching for identity, hope, and truth. And yet, many Christian teens feel unprepared to talk about their faith.

But how do we disciple our youth to confidently share the Gospel? Well, we need to teach them how to have a Gospel conversation, model for them a life of boldness and compassion through sharing our faith, and help them know why they believe what they believe.

Teens are not the Church of tomorrow—they’re the Church of today. And if we equip them now in how to tell others about Jesus, we multiply the Gospel’s reach exponentially. So let's not wait. Let’s raise a generation who can say, “I know Jesus, and I know how to tell my friend about Him too.”

When we learn to share the Gospel, we become part of something eternal. This past September, Samuel walked into our ministry’s Uganda office. Homeless, jobless, and abandoned, he’d spent nights on the streets of Kampala, desperate and hopeless. He told us, “I thought about ending my life so many times…I just needed someone to talk to.”

That’s when he met Francis. Francis listened, and then shared the Gospel. In just 25 minutes, Samuel surrendered his life to Jesus, tears streaming down his face. He received a Bible, prayer, and a bus ticket home. And just four days later—Samuel got a job offer out of the blue!

Today, he’s working and growing in his faith at a local church in his hometown. God works through believers to bring hope to people like Samuel. But it is our job to be ready to share!

When we ask God for opportunities to share the Gospel, He answers—sometimes in ways we don’t expect. One evening this past September, a young man in Kenya who learned how to share his faith felt prompted by the Holy Spirit to speak with two young men from a nearby village. He had recently been to one of our evangelism trainings, where he learned exactly how to share the Gospel clearly and confidently.

As they sat together, he asked them two diagnostic questions, and one believed he was saved, while the other trusted in his good works. But after hearing the Gospel, both realized their need for Jesus. That night, they prayed to receive Him as Lord and Savior!

When we ask God for opportunities to share the Gospel, He will answer us. So, I’d like to challenge you today...ask the Holy Spirit to guide you to someone who needs the Gospel, and then follow His leading!

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the power of God unto salvation for everyone who believes. Last August, in Kasungu, Malawi, a young girl was moments away from taking her own life. But God had another plan. Evance, who had just learned how to share his faith, heard about her situation and went to her home.

While others were trying to reason with her, Evance brought something more: the Gospel. He gently asked her two questions about if she knew if she was going to Heaven and what she’d say to God if He asked her why He should let her in. She broke down in tears. Right then, Evance shared the hope found in Jesus—and she received Christ as her Lord and Savior. That day, her life forever changed. She gained hope and joy she did not have before.

And here’s the truth—there are also people around us who feel hopeless and alone. Like Evance, will we share with them?

Why is it so important to share the Gospel? Because right now, someone is praying for the truth. Daniel was one of them. He cried out to God, “Reveal Yourself to me—for my salvation and personal growth.” That very same day, Japhet—one of our EE trainees from Nairobi, who had just learned to share the Gospel—felt prompted by the Holy Spirit to speak to a young man standing alone at Heal Africa Hospital. That man was Daniel.

As they spoke, Japhet shared the Gospel. And Daniel, though active in his church, realized he didn’t have the assurance of eternal life. Right there in the road, he gave his life to Christ—and with tears in his eyes said, “God answered my prayer through you.” People are searching for hope. And God is calling us to go.

So let’s not wait. Let’s share the Gospel today. Not sure how to share your faith? Well, we'd love to help.

This week, we are hearing stories from Africa. And let me tell you...there are exciting things happening on this continent. Just this past year through evangelism training events, we saw over twenty million people make professions of faith in Jesus. And that happened through over one million believers learning how to share their faith—both adults and children.

These Christians were in churches, schools, and even prisons; and they began to share the Gospel and reach their communities for Jesus. You want to make a Christian dangerous to the enemy? Well, teach them how to share the Good News! The Bible says that the gates of Hell will not prevail against Christ's church.

Let's do the same as our African brothers- and sisters-in-Christ—let's take the Good News of what Jesus has done on the cross to our communities.

It’s a fact—most people who love Jesus and embrace the Bible as God’s Holy Word never share the Gospel. I was in that same situation. I never thought anyone would listen to me, but God granted me the opportunity to see that spiritual light turn on in others’ lives as they made professions of faith in Jesus.

All it took was some tools and training that helped me share. And it’s not just me but millions of others also. One Vietnamese couple comes to mind. They’re from Canada. They attended Sunday services and Bible studies for years.

They are very involved in their church. But they didn’t know how to share their faith. After they gathered a few resources and some training to get started, it changed their lives. Other Christian friends saw this dramatic change too. Now they are faithfully, fruitfully witnessing.

Have you checked off your Christian to do list today?

Barna Research did a study that shares that most churchgoers equate spiritual maturity with following a list of rules. But that's not what the Bible says at all! Instead, Jesus tells us to abide in Him to produce spiritual fruit. Spiritual maturity isn't measured by checking all the boxes—it's measured by the Fruit of the Spirit. And the Fruit of the Spirit is produced by the Lord working in us as we abide in Him! Lamentations three says that because of the Lord's great love we're not consumed - His mercy is new every morning, and great is His faithfulness!

The Lord is so gentle with us and faithful to us. So, instead of focusing on what you think will make you look like a better Christian, focus on the power of the Holy Spirit, and spread the Gospel gently and faithfully to everyone you can.

Isn't God good? All the time! All the time, God is good.

We also know that He is kind...and He is patient. Just ask Bill! Bill had been praying for decades for his sister-in-law to come to saving faith in Jesus. He patiently prayed for her heart to be softened, and she finally accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior. Talk about a celebration! You see, the Fruit of the Spirit includes patience, kindness, and goodness. This story shows us God's kindness and goodness, and His patient pursuit of our hearts! The Lord gave Bill patience to pray for his sister-in-law and the words to speak the Gospel to her. Romans two four (2:4) says it's the kindness of the Lord that brings us to repentance.

How can you be an example of patience, kindness, and goodness? Look to the Lord and His Word, and He will produce the Fruit of His Spirit in you.
