Introduction
As a follower of Christ, I must share the good news of salvation with others. Throughout
the current semester, I have prayed for opportunities to share the gospel and have intentionally
done so. This report details my efforts to share the gospel with three individuals, one of whom
was through my local church ministry.
Evangelism Report 1
I had the opportunity to share the gospel with a young woman I met in the park close to
my house. I was passing by and found an easter event at a public park across the street from my
house, so I stopped there, thinking it was a good opportunity to share the gospel. I found a young
lady by herself and asked her to pray for her. We discussed Christianity's basics, including God's
existence, sin, and salvation through Jesus Christ. I used the Bible as my primary source, verses
such as John 3:16 and Romans 3:23-24. I also shared my testimony and how God had changed
my life. As McDowell said, "For those who doubt the reliability of the Bible, it's important to
note that the New Testament manuscripts have a remarkable level of consistency, with over 99%
agreement in the text. This is far greater than any other ancient document."1
The conversation lasted for about an hour, and I ended it by asking if she wanted to
accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Although they did not decide then, they thanked me for
sharing the gospel and said they would consider it further. I encouraged her to read the Bible to
continue growing with the Lord as it said, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for
teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness" (2 Timothy 3:16, NIV).

Evangelism Report 2
My second opportunity to share the gospel came through my cousin, who had doubts
about his faith. But he was interested in reading the bible and understanding it. So he was calling
me and asking me to explain some bible verses. I listened to his concerns and provided biblical
answers to his questions. I shared with him this verse "For God so loved the world that he gave
his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life" (John
3:16, NIV). We discussed the evidence for the resurrection and the reliability of the Bible. I
learned from Osborne, "When sharing the gospel, it's important to remember that the Bible is not
just a book of rules or moral teachings, but a story about God's redemptive plan for humanity."2
I also shared how my faith had helped me through difficult times. After the conversation,
my cousin thanked me for listening and answering their questions. He said he would continue to
seek answers and consider Christianity. I also talked to him about how important to be with the
body of Christ. So it is important to find a church near him and attend it to grow with the Lord.
Evangelism Report 3
Through my local church ministry, I had the opportunity to participate in a door-to-door
evangelism outreach in the community. My team and I visited several homes and shared the
gospel with those who answered the door. We followed Matthew 5:16 "Let your light shine
before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven" (Matthew
5:16, NIV). At first, some homes did not want to talk to us, so we were discouraged. Then, we
found one house that opened the door for us and agreed to speak to us.
We used tracts and shared our testimonies and the plan of salvation. One individual we
spoke with was open to the gospel and asked questions about how to become a Christian. We led

them in a prayer of repentance and faith, and they accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior. We
gave them a Bible and invited them to attend our church. "Missional living is about intentionally
seeking to love and serve others in our daily lives, with the ultimate goal of pointing them
towards Jesus."3
Conclusion
In conclusion, these evangelism efforts were intentional and aimed at presenting Christ to
those interested in the gospel. Although we were going to find that some people did not decide to
follow Jesus at the time, I remained sensitive to the Holy Spirit and demonstrated a
servant/kind/loving approach. Through these experiences, I have learned that sharing the gospel
is a crucial part of my walk with Christ, and I will continue to pray for opportunities to do so in
the future.
