10 Churches, 1 Mission - Share Your Faith

On March 3rd 2012, several churches came together to share the experience of learning how to share their faith. It was a large group and at first the group was quite reserved as the local EE chairman and I attempted to neutralize the tense atmosphere by sharing personal stories. They started to warm up pretty quickly and by the time we got to the fisherman video, they were besides themselves with excitement.

As the workshop continued we got the attendees more involved so as we demonstrated aspects of the technique, we invited them to share what they learnt as a way to practice; and practice they did...

We had to keep them practicing...

Interestingly, the young people were a little reserved during the presentation and opted to come to me during the break. They would not be left out however as I invited my name sake Stacy to come to the front and share  with us what she knew. It was a job well done  as she took us through the five points. 

Almost one week later, this is what one of the youth attendees had to say ...
My church sisters and I had fun sharing what we learnt, especially the hand presentation @ Bible Study last night. I've shared it with @ least three persons so far.Everyone enjoyed the workshop and has not stop talking about it ever since.We thank you and your pastor for that awesome experience. - Danielle


Update from Danielle
Today some of my sisters and I did the hand presentation in church.I feel so proud to have shared it with my church friends and family and I wasn't nervous @ all!After service mom commended me on being so bold and confident.I felt good.One time I could not go in front of the entire church to speak wid out crying! believe it or not! I would get so nervous that my hands start shaking,my heart starts racing and my whole body feels hot then the tears would start 2 fall.So when you see me go infront of the entire church and could deliver that hand presentation confidently that shows that God is indeed working in my life! Praise God! - March 11, 2012


Now if your heart is not touched by this sharing, then we will continue to pray and share until everyone hears.
