Many followers of Christ don’t feel they have the gift of evangelism. Their picture of evangelism is public speaking, preaching in front of big crowds, and loudly proclaiming Jesus’ name in a spotlight.  God hasn’t made everyone to be preachers. You can have a deep heart for the lost even if you don’t have the gift of evangelism.

Take my father-in-law, Willard, a wonderful man who was such a quiet engineer. I couldn’t imagine him saying more than a couple of lines when witnessing to others. But he had a deep burden for his old college buddies. As a result, anytime I spoke in town, he brought one or more of them, and let them hear me proclaim. He didn’t give up on those he loved because he wanted them to know Jesus.  But Willard brought them.

The secret is living and witnessing by the power of the Lord. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a teacher, an accountant, or whatever. The Bible says, “Whoever who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much.” Be faithful where you are, and the Lord will open doors for you. Believe me, amazing things will happen as you begin to reach your world. The Lord will use you and give you just the right words and just the right approach.
