I share the process of change in knowing for sure that I would be with God in Heaven if I died.Īnother version of my testimony relates to the change when God healed me from severe back pain. One version starts with the fact that (even though I was only four) I didn’t have the assurance of salvation. Different versions are ready in my mind and heart to share, depending on who I meet. I’ve found it is important to focus on the transformation that took place in my life. We sometimes feel confused about how to do this. It can be difficult for those of us who grew up in Christian homes to share our testimony. I was only four years old when I knelt beside my mother’s bedside and prayed to ask Jesus into my heart. Part of the problem is that I was so young when I first began to follow Jesus. I’ve often struggled with sharing my testimony. Sharing your story is a crucial skill for disciple makers. This is true whether you are using a Discovery Bible Study (DBS) approach or a Training for Trainers (T4T) approach. No matter what your disciple making method is, you can’t afford to ignore the power of sharing a simple, clear testimony of how God changed your life. Don’t stop training on this until you see them training others (they have led to Christ) to do the same. Keep training them until you see them sharing their testimony boldly and often. It is one of the important building blocks of discipleship. This vital skill must be taught and practiced again and again. One is the skill of learning to share your story (testimony), quickly and with clarity. In starting Disciple-Making movements, there are some key fundamentals. I wanted to learn how to spin the ball on my finger or shoot a fancy shot. “Fundamentals win games,” he said with confidence. Dribbling, passing the ball, shooting layups…over and over again. Our coach made us spend hours on the fundamentals. I played basketball in high school and college.
