Share Life Today

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

If you’ve ever wondered whether someone is “ready” to share their faith—just look at the children in Honduras. These young believers recently completed the second level of evangelism discipleship training in their church, and they’re not waiting until they’re older to obey God’s call. They’re boldly sharing the Gospel right now with their friends, their classmates, and even their families! It’s a powerful reminder of Proverbs twenty-two verse six: “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” You see, when kids love Jesus and are discipled to share His love with others, we see them naturally rise to the challenge. They can’t stop sharing with everyone they know. And if they can do it with such faith, courage, and joy...what’s stopping us? The truth is, we’re all called to share the Gospel! So let’s follow their lead. Let’s both equip the next generation—and say “yes” ourselves to sharing. For more, visit our website at sharelife.today.

God has given every believer a clear calling—to share the Gospel. And that call doesn’t change based on where we live, what challenges we face, or even how we communicate. In Bolivia, a group of Christians recently came together for an evangelism discipleship workshop—where they were trained and equipped to share their faith within the Deaf community. For many, it was their first time learning how to communicate through sign language. But they said yes to God’s call, and they’re now stepping out in faith to reach people who may never have had the chance to understand the Gospel before. You see, when we step out in obedience—no matter the obstacles—God provides what we need. And these believers in Bolivia showed they are willing to learn opens doors for the Gospel that might otherwise stay closed. So wherever you are, whatever you’re up against, remember—God wants to use you to share the Gospel. For more, visit sharelife.today.

We are so excited to share more stories about what’s happening around the globe with you. And this week, our spotlight is Latin America! God is so faithful. Truly, as we walk with Him and seek His will, God shows up. And as we’re faithful to His command to share the Gospel, we see Him change lives before our very eyes! This happened in Latin America this past year. At one of our evangelism discipleship trainings in Colombia, Milagro came to learn more about God and evangelism. During the training, she felt God speak to her regarding salvation and revealed to her that she couldn’t do enough good works to save herself. Only by placing her trust in Jesus and what He did on the cross could she be saved. She felt like a woman free of working her way to heaven. She told us joyfully, “It is by the grace of God that I’m saved!” Want to learn how you can share the Gospel clearly? Well, visit our website at sharelife.today.

You know, when we ask God to guide our steps, He answers—often in powerful and unexpected ways. In the city of Gori, Georgia—the country not the state—a group of believers prayed that God would lead them to someone who was truly seeking Him. Moments later, a church member called and asked if they could visit a widow named Elene. Well, when the team arrived, Elene shared her heartbreaking story: after her husband—a military officer—died in a tragic car accident, her world simply collapsed. Grieving, working long hours for little pay, and raising two children alone, Elene was overwhelmed and hopeless. But that day, she heard the Gospel clearly—and responded with tears and joy, kneeling to pray and place her trust in Jesus. She said, “I’m now confident that I’ll be with God in heaven.” God still answers the cries of the broken—and He uses people like you and me to bring His hope.

No matter where people live, they are deeply desperate for the love and hope found only in Jesus. Take Nikolai from Kazakhstan, for example. He struggled for years with alcoholism and had been through more than 20 rehab centers. He visited over 20 churches, searching for help. But *Nikolai believed that being a “good person” was what would get him to heaven—he didn’t understand the Gospel. When Alexei shared with him the Good News—that salvation is a free gift from Jesus, not earned by works—Nikolai was amazed. He said, “No one’s ever told me that Heaven is a free gift! From that moment, I can no longer be the same! Jesus has changed me!” Now, Nikolai is studying the Bible and preparing to be baptized at his church. His story is a powerful reminder: no matter where we are, Jesus meets us in our struggles, and He offers us real hope.

In the Middle East, sharing the Gospel isn’t just difficult — it’s dangerous. But that hasn’t stopped believers like Jasur in Uzbekistan. This past June, he traveled to the city of Gulistan to support a fellow Christian and reconnect with some old contacts. What followed was a powerful, Spirit-led gathering where testimonies were shared and the Gospel was presented to a room full of attentive hearts. And one young woman, Gulnora, and her sister were struggling—torn between Islam, their father’s religion, and Christianity, their mother’s faith. Their hearts leaned toward Jesus. Jasur didn’t pressure them. He shared the Gospel clearly with them, left a Bible, and promised to pray. If Jasur can share the Gospel even in such a dangerous region, well, we certainly can share to our communities too. There are people waiting to hear the hope that can only be found in Jesus. So let’s be bold in our witness. To learn how, visit our website at sharelife.today.

You know, evangelism doesn’t always result in an immediate decision—but that doesn’t mean God isn’t at work. Pavel from Belarus led Bible lessons at a Christian camp for children with disabilities. And there, he connected with a family—Ihar, Hanna, and their three children. On the last day around a campfire, they attentively listened to Pavel share the Gospel, but they weren’t ready to make a decision to follow Jesus. Well, a year later, Pavel met them again at the same camp, but they had not come as campers. They had volunteered to serve at the camp! They shared with Pavel how God had been working in their lives. In the year since he had seen them, they all accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Pavel was filled with great joy! You know, we, like Pavel, have been commissioned by Jesus to share the Gospel. But it’s God who does the work of transformation in His perfect timing. Let’s be bold and share. For more, visit our website at sharelife.today.

This summer, we’re hearing stories from across the globe; and this week, we’re spotlighting what God is doing in Eurasia. This large region may be the hardest and most difficult place to be a Christian. And yet, the Gospel is going forth. Afghanistan, Iran, Turkey, and Russia are just a few of the 14 countries that make up this region, with different cultures, religions, and social standards of life. And it’s vast—Russia alone has over eleven time zones! And even in this difficult area, we praise God for the thousands of Christians who have learned how to share their faith and the hundreds of thousands of people who have put their trust in Jesus Christ last year alone. Let's remember to pray for our brothers- and sisters-in-Christ in Eurasia who are telling others about the Good News of Jesus despite the dangers. And may we be encouraged that we too can step out in faith and share the Gospel. For more, visit sharelife.today.

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

Do you know that there are people we pass by every day that are living entrapped in fear and condemnation? Many know how vast their sins are but have no answer for what to do about it. They’re hopeless and lost. And what a pity if we don't go and tell them about the amazing grace found only in Jesus. Wari from Papua New Guinea was out with his team in a village witnessing when they came across a woman. And as the conversation developed, they asked her if she was sure that she was going to heaven. She replied, "No, I know I'm going to hell." Because of some great sins she committed in her past, she knew confidently where her destination was. But Wari said, "We have Good News for you!" And they told her about how Jesus paid for her sins on the cross in full. With tears in her eyes, she put her faith in Jesus Christ. You know, we can bring that hope to others as we’re sharing the Gospel? For resources how, visit sharelife.today.

Today, I want to share with you an incredible story from New Zealand! Raj and Joyce unexpectedly encountered two high school students at a local mall. After striking up a conversation, they asked them spiritual questions, and both girls accepted Jesus after hearing the Gospel! And as the conversation continued, they discovered that the girls were struggling and homeless. They had run away from their homes, and right before Raj and Joyce had arrived, they had been praying for help. They felt compelled to offer them not only spiritual guidance but also a place to stay for the night and a warm meal. Well, that same night, Raj conveyed the importance of repentance from sin as well as the story of the prodigal son. The girls felt both convicted and contacted their parents to tell them they were safe. The next day, they were joyfully reunited. Raj and Joyce praised God for this picture of redemption and reconciliation through the Gospel. Learn how you too can share by visiting sharelife.today.
