To Secular PostmodernsChristian Witnessing Works Essays We are called to bear a Christian witness on behalf of the Lord Jesus Christ, but many don't know how to witness, or are too afraid to witness. How does a Christian come to witness without fear? How does one become an effective soulwinning witness?

Christian Witnessing In Your Secular Educational Setting Top Christian Witnessing in Your Community Top Christian Witnessing to Youth "A young shoe salesman went to the superintendent of the Plymouth Congregational Church, and asked if he might teach Sunday School. The superintendent said, ‘I am sorry, young fellow. I have sixteen teachers too many, but I will put you on the waiting list.’ The young man insisted, ‘I want to do something just now.’ ‘Well, start a class,’ said the superintendent. ‘How do I start a class?’ ‘Get some boys off the street but don’t bring them here. Take them out into the country and after a month you will have control of them, so bring them in. They will be your class.’ So the young man took the boys to a beach on Lake Michigan and he taught them Bible verses and Bible games. Then he took them to the Plymouth Congregational Church. The name of that young man was Dwight Lyman Moody, and that was the beginning of a ministry that lasted forty years." From Edwin Orr, Revival and Prayer
Top Christian Witnessing Through Foreign Mission Service Witnessing to a Buddhist: A Buddhist Conversion Testimony
"In the darkness at night I was crying until I have no tear to cry and then I looking for some help from who have all the power in this Universe. I never know about God at all but I believe that some one out there that I can’t see can help me. I say the first pray like this 'Please, help me to go away to somewhere that I don’t have to marry I want to study, please. I believe that you who I can’t see can do the miracle by send someone to take me a way from this situation I’m facing right now. Please!' In the morning that lady that took me to school came and I was following her. I really believe that God has the plan for my life. He is my friend and everything. I can talk with him about everything and he will never tell anyone and he is really answering my first prayer. I do believe that lady at time was the angel from God to help me and answer my pray."
Dan Augsburger: Feeding the 5,000 (MP3 Sermon)
"I am certain the disciples were surprised when Jesus told them "You have no need to send them away; you give them something to eat!" How could they do that? They had nothing! The only food they were aware of was the food of a young lad who had the lunch his mother had sent with him. But Jesus said to bring what THEY had. So they did. And He blessed it, and broke it, and distributed it to the disciples so that they could share it with the 5,000 people. And all were filled and all were happy. But there is more to the story! Listen to learn the exciting conclusion to their story!" (Listen to the Feeding the 5,000 sermon)

Helen Roseveare went to the Congo through WEC International and practiced medicine and also trained others in medical work.

In 1964 she was taken prisoner of rebel forces and she remained a prisoner for five months, enduring beatings and being raped. She left the Congo and headed back to England after her release but quickly returned to the Congo in 1966 to assist in the rebuilding of the nation. The stir me series is a four part series given in Canada. She shares many heart-warming stories that you will NEVER forget! Charlene Luzuk: Charlene's Travel Tips Here is a sample tip: "Because you look like a tourist, most locals will triple the price hoping that you’re new to the country and will pay what they ask. When I have no idea how much to pay, I bring it back to half the price and if they refuse, try another one, and then another… if you come to the third one and they say no, you know your asking an unreasonable price so you bring it up to a price you are both happy to pay. Don’t be afraid to smile and say no thanks and find another taxi or whatever you are looking for. The golden rule though, is finding a price which you and the seller are both happy with and that is all that matters." Lance and Merita Cutts: Long-term Witness in Samoa "In seeking work, we had placed an ad in the local newspaper a few days earlier, as well putting our Kiwi plumbing sign outside our gate!
I was doing some work on the bathroom when Merita came excitedly running in about lunchtime, stating that she had received leads on two jobs to look at, and that an old school friend had rung after seeing our sign, and wanted to meet with us. What a blessed it was to meet Shirley and Sebastian who are Assembly of God pastors. They had been praying for someone to come to Samoa to fill the role of inspector, for the contract they had with the European Union of overseeing the installation of reservoir tanks and pipe work for water mains in the Islands. We had a prayer session together that day in the office and thanked God for being such an amazing God. From that day the phone kept on ringing with job after job, I had to be a Samoan resident to take up EU job and that came through within one week. We prayed about the sale of our van and through prayer received a $8500 payout which the shipping company did not believe could happen." (Read more about Lance and Merita's story...)

"This is the heart of postmodern thought, and it surrounds us today. We cannot know the truth about reality; we only know our own constructions of it. We can hope to convince others to join us in our beliefs, but there is no room for rational argumentation, because one’s views about the world are no better or worse than any others. As Stanley Grenz says, “all human interpretations-including the Christian worldview-are equally valid because all are equally invalid....” Read the rest of Confident Belief Dan Augsburger: Comparing Philosophy and Christianity
"Nietzche, though born of a pastor’s family-in fairness we must acknowledge his dad died when he was five I believe-decided God was dead and therefore we were on our own. He also had an aristocratic view towards life, and believed that a superman could take over and create the ideal conditions for the world. He hated Christianity, socialism and democracy, because all of them stood in the way of a certain class of super people having their own way. One of his students was Adolf Hitler, who followed what he wrote to its ultimate outcome, and brought on WWII and the holocaust. Nietzche had a mental breakdown at the end of his life. In his mind the strong are better than the weak (which included women, for him), and the strong should enjoy exploiting the weak for its own ends. He also thought morality was a hindrance to the development of new and better customs; that it made one stupid. Needless to say, a philosophy that willingly sacriï¬ï¿½ces millions of people, that sets up one group of people as a super race that can do whatever it needs to gain its own ends, is hardly a philosophy that I would want to buy in to."
