Should we try to puff up our testimony & go on a testimony tour? Guidance on testimonies & usage

Testimony guidance

Q: How do I go about giving my testimony? As in I want to preach it to the church or even people. I’m not talking about the 5-10 minute run down. How would I go about even setting one up?

I believe I have a very powerful testimony in my young life that can help others. I want to guide them to Christ.

In the past 10 months I’ve helped two people become believers and be active of their roles in Christ. That’s 2 more people compared to 10 months ago. I want to change lives, I want to guide people to Christ. I want to share my story because both God and me know how rocky my faith has been, we know the sins I have sinned. Our God is truly merciful and I want others to feel heard. I don’t want them to be alone because without him we are.


A: We share the Gospel with people, to focus on God. God told us the power of salvation is in the Gospel. A testimony done wrongly points sinfully to me me me. You don't want a 30 min testimony focusing on you. Even Paul as a mass murderer had a simple testimony. Every testimony is a miracle showing God's power, and equally important. 

Our testimony is to point people to Christ, not go in depth of our former life of sin. 

These can be a good guide for you...



*More can be found at grace media under baptisms. (And are good to watch and gleen from). 

As to sharing the Gospel, you can do it by tract, by convos using icebreaker or if theres a particular reason an unsaved person asks for your conversion story, or youre speaking at a event as a guest speaker for some reason.

You dont need to chase the limelight and put focus on yourself, nor start some multi church testimony tour for profit or attention. You just need to follow the pattern given in Scripture and go. We are commissioned to share the Gospel. Using a testimony is rare. You already started going out and trying to witness, just pursue it rightly, understand the shepherding and guidance of your church and its leaders. 

To get equipped to share the Gospel these resources will help. 



A possible way to share your testimony (3 min or less) is among Christians at your church, whom you are in study and fellowship groups with, to get to know each other. 

Also, you could write your testimony, post on your personal Facebook wall, and post the link of it in groups & social media places. And or if your comfortable you could make video for youtube, make a QR code, and put that as a lil code sticker on the back of a tract, to hand out. Just make sure it doesnt cover anything on the tract. 

God bless

How do we leave someone after a gospel convo?

Q: What is your evangelism routine after evangelizing to a new person?  What is a good practice to do before we move on to the next person? A: After the convo you can give the " will think about it " person something free like Scientific facts in the Bible or Why Christianity tract if you didn't give a tract. Then leave them with God.  If they say they realize they were a false convert  & got saved today, then they have been in church before and likely have a Bible. Direct them to a biblical church nearby [that you have on a list in the area you are evangelizing and in that county]. If they don't have a Bible you can give them this  https://livingwaters.com/store/books/bibles/the-bibles-four-gospels/ probably avail on Amazon if out of stock. It has the Gospel in it and steps for new believer in there, to further guide them.  If they're a new believer, ask if they have a Bible. If they don't or have a catholic or cult version or kjv, offer them 1. the book ...

What if someone rejects a tract?

Q: What should my response be when someone out right rejects a Gospel tract?   Many that have say “If this about God or Jesus, I don’t want it.” A: If you're interested in having conversations, that's a great opening! THEM: Is that about Jesus? I don't want it!  YOU: Actually, it is. I'll save it for the next person, but I'm curious, why don't you want something to help you think about the importance of Jesus?  Listen to them and that may open the door for you to share the Gospel. If they refuse to open up though, wish them well and move on. Do try to probe. It may open doors to talk. Have ready some answers ready to top 5 expected rejection reasons the person has about religion or Christianity, or Jesus, and you might be able to chat & swing to the Gospel. Put the focus on Jesus not the people who claim to be his followers or religions that claim to be Christian. Use if questions like If God is real or if Jesus is God and if he went to great expense and le...
