Guiding a new believer who is fearful & doesn't want to share Christ

Q:. I have a friend whom recently found Jesus. I couldn’t have been more happy for this friend and I showed so much support.  Well I asked her if they wanted to attend a gathering with other Christians whom were going to share Jesus. She didn’t want to go because she felt unsafe about “nonbelievers” because they’re unpredictable in their behaviors.

But among the true converts those who love God will share the gospel. They read the Bible regularly, and will serve in ministries too. Some will get equipped and join the church outreach team and make time to go into town or d2d to reach those in the church area.  The purpose of sharing the Gospel is not to gain numbers of bodies in the pews but to share the gospel, plant seeds, and be faithful servants of Christ. If they get saved...
