  • Everyone Needs the Gospel

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

    When interviewing Oliten Lameck, EE’s National Director of Malawi, he shared with me something that every pastor and church leader needs to hear: “Though people are in churches, but they still need the Gospel. So this is pushing us that we should really equip people so that they can share Gospel to people. And even those who are in churches, they need the Gospel.” You know, that’s true. Sometimes we assume that because someone attends church, they understand how to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. But that’s not always the case. That’s why sharing the Gospel is so important, even inside our churches. So you have conversations with the people around you, make sure to ask spiritual questions. Listen carefully. And as God gives you the opportunity, share the Gospel with them. And watch God work. If you need help getting started in sharing your faith, we have resources for you.

  • Missing a Quarter of Our Life

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

    Oliten Lameck, EE’s National Director of Malawi, recently told me about a group that had just gone through evangelism training. They told him: “‘I think we were really missing this. It was like we were missing quarter of our life, not knowing how to share the Gospel like this.’ So they were encouraged and they committed themselves to continue sharing the Gospel to other people.” And truly, I’ve heard comments like that all over the world. Many Christians love Jesus. They attend church. They serve faithfully. But no one has ever shown them how to confidently share their faith. And when they learn, it’s like a fire ignites in their heart. They find a passion for sharing the Gospel and teaching others how to as well. And their churches and communities are changed because they are changed. And this could be you! If you need help getting started, we have resources for you.

  • Equipping Others to Share

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

    I was talking with Oliten Lameck, EE’s National Director of Malawi, and he shared what God is doing: “Like now we are training the people, equipping pastors, equipping young leaders on how to share the Gospel. For instance, last week we had a training, Hope for Kids training and also Share Your Faith training. So we are busy with the Gospel, equipping people so that they may also equip other people with the Gospel.” You know, that’s really how the Gospel spreads. One believer shares with another. One person is equipped, and then they help equip someone else. That’s why Paul told Timothy to entrust what he had learned to faithful people who would teach others also. So don’t just learn how to share your faith for yourself. Disciple someone else how as well. That’s spiritual multiplication! If you need help getting started, we have resources for you.

  • Together, We Go

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

    I asked Rey Bechayda, EE’s National Director of the Philippines, what it was like gathering with believers from around the world at EE’s last Congress of Nations, and I loved his answer. He said: “I can still remember that it was just like a family. All the nations from every continent listen up and they are happy for you. We’re happy for one another. We’re excited about the new things that God is doing in every continent and in every nation.” When believers come together around the Gospel, something powerful happens. We encourage one another. We learn from one another. And we spur each other on in the mission Jesus gave us: to share the hope of Jesus and what He has done for us with every person. And as believers in Christ, we are all a part of that! If you need help getting started sharing your faith, we have resources for you.

  • Share, Pray, and Send

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

    I was talking with Rey Bechayda, the National Director of Evangelism Explosion in the Philippines, and one thing he said really encouraged me: “I know that in the coming years, there will be a greater revival, not just in the Philippines, but all over the country. And together, we will reach the world.” And honestly, I believe he’s right. All around the world right now, people are hearing the Gospel and lives are being transformed by Jesus Christ. Jesus told us to “go and make disciples of all nations.” That means sharing the Gospel where we are and helping send it around the world. So today, pray for those in your life who needs Jesus. Look for an opportunity to share your faith. And when you can’t go yourself, help send others with the Gospel.

  • The Atmosphere of a Church

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

    I was speaking with Rey Bechayda, the National Director of Evangelism Explosion in the Philippines, and he shared something really encouraging. He said: “We were really amazed with what God is doing now in the Philippines... But today, in the past three years, we’ve seen changes in the atmosphere of churches.” I love that phrase, “changes in the atmosphere of churches.” You know, when people begin sharing their faith again, churches come alive. Why? Because evangelism isn’t just a program. It’s part of following Jesus and discipling others to follow Him too. If you want to see your church’s culture change, start learning to share your faith and disciple others how they can too. And then watch what God does as your church activates as a loving body of Christ that shares the Gospel with your community. If you need help getting started in sharing your faith, we have resources for you. For those and to get involved with seeing the Gospel go to nations like the Philippines, visit ShareLife.Today.

  • Don't Know How To Start

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

    I heard something from Rey Bechayda in the Philippines that was both convicting and encouraging. He said: “Jesus referred to us as witnesses, but we’re not witnessing... We need to activate churches. And one lacking is equipping. And the ministry of Evangelism Explosion is here to equip you.” You know, I think a lot of Christians really do want to share their faith. They just don’t know how to start. But it doesn’t have to be complicated. One of the best things you can do is ask questions and really listen to people. Ask them about life, about struggles, about what they believe. And then, naturally, share what Jesus has done in your own life. Your story can be the bridge God uses for you to share the Gospel.

  • Wherever We Go, The Gospel Goes

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

    I was talking with Rey Bechayda, the National Director of Evangelism Explosion in the Philippines, and he said something that really stuck with me. He said: “I believe God designed us and prepared us in such a time as this so that wherever we go, we bring the gospel with us and we will help fulfill the Great Commission wherever we go.” You know, that’s really true. God has placed every one of us somewhere on purpose... in a neighborhood, a workplace, a school, a family. And one of the easiest ways to begin sharing your faith is simply to start praying each morning, “Lord, give me one opportunity today to talk about Jesus.” And then watch what God does. If you need help getting started in sharing your faith, we have resources for you.

  • Persecution in Lebanon

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

    As we conclude this week talking about the church globally and how we’re called to go to the nations, I wanted to share a testimony with you from a challenging part of the world. Made up of the former Soviet Union and most of the Middle East, Central Asia is a region where persecution happens almost every day to Christ-followers. And yet, God is moving mightily in these countries. For instance, in a small village in Lebanon, a family heard the Gospel from a team of Christians who knocked on their door. The husband, the wife, and all the children gave their hearts to Christ that day. And the villagers were not pleased and began persecuting them heavily. However, God used these same Christians who led the family to Christ to share with the villagers also, and their minds were changed. So let's be encouraged today to step out ourselves and to share the Gospel. You can learn more about how you can share your faith at ShareLife.Today. That’s ShareLife.Today.

  • Rejoice in Persecution

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

    In His famous Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said, "Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven." You know, persecution can be a difficult topic to talk about; and yet if we are followers of Christ, Jesus Himself said that we will face it. But it will not be in vain. Christ promises that when we share in His sufferings by facing insults and false accusations that there is a reward. When I read this, I am encouraged that firstly, I am not in this alone—Jesus has experienced the very same rejection. And secondly, there is no reason to be scared to share my faith because even if it ends in persecution, my Savior says, “Rejoice.” So let's take heart and share! For more, visit ShareLife.Today.
