Real Life Stories Christian Testimony Books, Prints and Supplies Born Again Christians with a product (Books) that they can use to reach lost souls in their cities.
I
was going through a period in my life where everything was turned upside down.
I was at a job that required me to work over 55 hours a week, my home life was
very stressful, and I had started to distance myself from friends and family.
My
job started to become a very hostile environment. Life at home was even more
hostile. I started to see everything that I had worked so hard for falling
apart. I would cry myself to sleep at night and would cry at work in between
breaks. One day at work, I couldn’t catch my breath. I had the biggest panic
attack that I had ever had at my desk. They called 911, and I was rushed to the
hospital in an ambulance. The doctor came in and told me he was going to put me
on medicine that would stop the panic attacks. However, I wouldn’t be able to
work or drive a motor vehicle. The medicine would basically keep me sleepy and
sedated all day long. I went to the pharmacy to have the prescription filled,
and the pharmacy told me the medicine was on backorder. As soon as the shipment
came in, they would call me.
I
went home and cried out to God. I began to pray Mathew 18:18.
“Verily
I say unto you, whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and
whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” Real Life Stories
I
began to use my authority and quote God’s word. I never had another panic
attack from that day forward. For about like to this type of inspirational

This is the Process and Cost of Developing a Real Life Stories Christian Testimony Book When a Church Partners with Step by Step Ministries
The process starts by teaching people how to write their testimony and placing it into a 3-fold flyer, as pictured above. The Testimony is to be between 1000 and 1100 words and provided to us in a Word Document. We will provide exact instructions as to how to properly prepare a testimony. This 3-fold flyer can then be used with our books pictured below until such a time that person’s story is in a book.
There is a $25 charge per story to edit and layout the testimony in a 3-fold flyer. After editing, we send the file to the church to take to a local print shop to make copies. When a church partners with us, they can purchase and use our books at the very low price of $100 for 3 cases of books, plus shipping. There 60 to 70 books in a case, depending on which books they are.
A New book will contain between 25 and 30 testimonies and have a total of 96 pages. This has proven to be the most cost-effective book size to print and distribute. We will print 40,000 copies. This is the quantity needed to keep the price down to a point of being able to afford to freely give them away. The cost of 40,000 books, including typesetting, editing, and cover design is about $16,000. This comes to about .40 cents per book (plus shipping), making the book a very affordable tool for witnessing.
Just before the books are ordered, the local church pays their half, $8,000, directly to the printing company. Step By Step Ministries pays the other half, $8,000. When the books are printed, the partnering church is billed for their shipping cost, which must be paid before the books ship. At that time, 20,000 books are shipped to the partnering Church, and 20,000 books are shipped to Step By Step Truckers Ministry .When Step by Step Ministries receives their 20,000 books, we donate to 5000 of those books to another ministry called Love Packages. Love Packages loads the books on cargo containers and ships them to impoverished English-speaking people in Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean Islands. So when a local church partners with us they not only reach the local community, they reach the World!
In addition to this, we have a Team of people using our books all over the United States and Canada! When a Local Church Partners with Step By Step Ministries, TOGETHER we fulfill Acts 1:8, But ye shall receive power, after the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

I grew up the third of seven children, all struggling for recognition, moving often and traveling from school to school with no place to really call home. I decided early in life to build walls for protection. My parents married at the young age of 17 and started quickly popping out children causing a lot of stress just living day to day! There was certainly no way or time to learn good communication skills! Now looking back where I came from, born in upstate NY in the early 60's, I wanted to make my mark, so I had decided to excel in academics as well as sports and music.
Soon living in Florida when my dad was 24, he had a life-changing experience with the Lord, so we started going to many Pentecostal churches and Spirit-filled revivals. At the age of 13, back in NY, I was invited to a small church hosting missionaries who were showing some slides of suffering humanity in other countries. One asked the small group if anyone would ever want to help, and immediately I raised my hand and stood up and said, "I will! I will go!" Something happened to me that day, and since then, when I remember that experience, I start to cry.
Still, my teenage years were filled with many family issues and self-performance striving for attention and approval...from school, boys, drugs and alcohol. At age 16, I felt trapped! In 1977, my parents took me to a clinic and made me have an abortion. I had gotten pregnant, and back then that was the thing to do. Afterward, the guilt and shame made me bitter and I lost the desire to excel in school, dropping out the following year. I see now that I was trying to run away from my problems, not facing my real issues, and was looking for love and approval in all the wrong places. I met a guy in the small town we lived in and ended up leaving home and moving in with him. We didn't really have much, so I soon broke up with him and moved to Texas with some friends of the family. I decided after being away from home for a few months, I would write him a long letter and say if he wanted to come to Texas, maybe we could get married and start a family right away, which he did.
In June of 1980, our first son Michael was born. By this time we had moved back to NY near our family. The real troubles had just begun and I know that through it all, my Lord kept me safe. After 23 years of marriage, my parents got a divorce, and the very next year my older sister was killed in an alcohol-related car accident. My own marriage had crumbled and now I had a small baby to take care of along with all the stress of these family crises! So by age 21, I was admitted to a facility for a nervous breakdown, chemical imbalance, and bi-polar disorder, while my dad and step-mother took care of my son. Over five years of medication, doctors, and life without making sense, proved to me that God will never leave us nor forsake us! I'm a living miracle! The doctors told me I would never be able to drive, hold a job, or have any more children.
In 1987, with no more medication and no more doctors, I was still very promiscuous and became pregnant again. During this pregnancy, I was completely healed of the chemical imbalances I had suffered. My second son Shawn was such a blessing to me and I got to have my first son Michael come and live with us. What a blessing to have both of them and to actually have my own apartment and a somewhat "normal" life! After going back to get some higher education, I met and married a fellow student at college and had a daughter Tiffany and a son Brian, which ended in divorce within five years. Throughout this time we were in and out of church and never expected that this would happen to our marriage and family.
I remember desperately praying, "Please, Heavenly Father, send me a husband that will serve you faithfully and be a father to my children and love me sincerely." Well, God answered my prayer Michael and I have been married for 14 years, growing and seeking God! I believe his daughter Gabby, is also a gift God gave me in the place of the little baby that had been aborted. We are now the proud grandparents of 6!
In 2016, as we were studying the Bible and growing in the Hebrew Roots of our Christian faith or Christian Testimonies, we became interested in, and started, blowing those shofar horns. I was led on-line to "The Shofar Man," Jim Barbarossa, and our lives have been so blessed ever since!
In recent months, a friend came to visit and was shown by the Holy Spirit that I still had a source of bitter rejection, and through prayer and agreement with that, the Lord was able to release and deliver me at the subconscious childhood source! In moments of time, the picture I saw of Jesus was a very loving, merciful Father who accepted me without needing to perform, washing away my ugly behaviors and affirming to me my worth to Him!
I am casting all my cares on Him and setting the desires of this world aside to keep him Lord of my life. I am following in His footsteps wherever He leads me. I now trust that He has a perfect plan for my life to be a witness of how He can work our messes into something good, and that His ways are far better. What He has done for me, He can do for you, too! Forever grateful, giving God all the glory, honor, power, and praise! He is the only Way, the Truth, and the Real Life Stories!

Jesus gave His Blood, His Life, so all your sins could be forgiven. Jesus paid your penalty for sin; in full.
Now it’s up to you to accept or reject what Jesus has done for you.
God is inviting you into a personal relationship with Him as your Heavenly Father and Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Jesus came to show you the way because you are passionately loved and wanted. Jesus, before He was resurrected, said to His disciples, “…He who has seen me has seen the Father.” John 14:9
If you repent for breaking God’s Law and put your trust in Jesus, when God looks at you, He will not see a liar, a thief, an adulterer, or a law breaker but he will see a person that Jesus has redeemed from the curse of the Law, one that Jesus paid the full penalty for their sin. God will see the Blood of Jesus that has washed you as white as snow. Only through Jesus can you be right with God.
The unseen sadness was passed on deep in my psyche.
The great sadness never left me, until...
I grew up with decent parents who took us to church regularly. Christian rules were good for avoiding a lot of trouble. But ever since I can remember, there was a great sadness in our home and in my life. When I was five years old, I remember pretending to be asleep in the car while we drove to my grandparents’ home for the first time because I didn’t want to get out and meet them. Dad was moody. I learned to keep my mouth shut around him. So then he made fun of me for being quiet. Years later, I learned about his abusive childhood. Amazingly he never abused us physically or sexually, but his tongue was sharp and cut my heart and soul. Mom was quiet and never said anything to him about how cruel his words were. My parents struggled from their own unseen abuse and lack of love. They did the best they could, but the unseen sadness was passed on deep in my psyche.
I moved out and went to university. I became a professional with a good job as a single woman. Life looked good, but the great sadness never left me. I continued going to church regularly but found very few true friends there. It was a show. It wasn’t safe to open up about what was really going on. There was no way to get help for doubts and problems because “good church people don’t have problems” supposedly.
Eventually, I married and had kids. The great sadness was mostly hidden. It was so familiar that I just took it for granted as part of life. As life’s stress increased and didn’t let up, the great sadness could no longer be ignored. I was a Christian, somehow walking in spiritual defeat. “God, why doesn’t my life match up to what’s in Your Bible?” “Why am I miserable?” “I want the real deal.”
I went to a Christian freedom retreat weekend and got saved! God never left my side all those years. He led me to His Tree of Life. As an older grey-haired woman, I finally SURRENDERED ALL of me and my life to Him. Everything I own, every person I hold dear, and every bit of my body and soul is His. He is in charge! The great sadness is gone! I feel exhilarated! Just like the people in the Bible, I can tell family and friends this story without feeling shy or embarrassed. It would have been embarrassing to tell people I’ve gone to church and followed the rules but haven’t surrendered to God the Creator! The freedom retreat was simply a place and time for me to bow my head and pray my own words of surrender.
I am happier. I don’t try to guess how things are going to turn out. It’s all in God’s capable hands. I can relax and trust Him. My free time (from not worrying) is welcomed by my family to spend with them. God is taking up the slack. He is replacing my emptiness and trepidation with love and boldness. Over time, it is a slow process of blossoming. Without love, we truly are nothing.
Every now and then, the Devil pours his custom marinade of self-pity over me. Sometimes, I wallow in it for a little while before recognizing it, remembering God is BIGGER than every life circumstance. If I quit, get anxious, or criticize, I am cursing and dishonoring Him. For the rest of my life, God is calling me out to HONOR HIM!

I
was raised in a small town in Ohio. I was second in a family of five children.
My father wasn't home much as he worked two jobs, so me, my brothers and
sisters did not get to see him very much. My mother was a stay-at-home mom. We
had a milk cow and large garden, so all us children had to help out at home.
My
parents sent my older sister and I to church every Sunday. About the time we went
to grade school, we walked to a Protestant Church. We belonged to the youth
fellowship group, sang in the church choir, and were very active in the church.
Even being involved, I never heard about having a relationship with God.
When
I was about 10 years of age, my grandfather came down with cancer. He was
bedfast and I would sit and listen to him tell stories about his life. It was
during this time I decided I wanted to become a nurse. I never changed my mind
and after graduation from high school, I went directly to nursing school. I
became a registered nurse. The school I went to was a three-year program and
was affiliated with the hospital. There were only about five in our class that
wanted to remain and work at this hospital. I decided to be one of the five,
but was hurt because the other four were able to work in the department they
chose, but I was placed in the operating room.
I
became very bitter and had a rough time at first. The sight of blood bothered
me and I had a difficult time watching doctors make the incision. I overcame my
problem by telling myself that I was really helping these people. This was my
heart's desire: to help people. Later on I realized God was with me. After
getting married and having a family, I was able to work all day shifts. This
was a real blessing for me.
I
got married shortly after becoming a nurse and had two daughters. My
mother-in-law was a bright shining light for me. She had a personal
relationship with the Lord. I wanted what she had, so she led me to accept
Jesus Christ as my personal Savior.
One
day at work, the Lord asked me to speak with a priest prior to his surgery. I
questioned God. I did not feel I was as knowledgeable about God as he was, so I
did not speak with him and he later passed away. I asked God many times to
forgive me but couldn't forgive myself. I then turned my back on God. I quit
going to church. I became busy doing my own thing. I was bitter, depressed,
unhappy, all negative. I was thinking of myself more than I cared about others.
Everything seemed to be going wrong.
A
friend of mine invited me to go to church with her one day. This opened the
door for me to getting back with the Lord. I then realized God never left me,
but I left Him. I read in the Bible, Hebrews 13:5, "I will never leave you
nor forsake you."
My
problem was I couldn't forgive myself. God always forgives us when we ask Him
to. His Word says in Psalms 103:12, "As far as the east is from the west,
so far hath he removed our transgressions from us." I am now very thankful
to be back in right standing with God, and made Him Lord of my life. I am now living a fulfilled life
sharing Yeshua or Jesus with others.
We
greatly appreciate the opportunity to have a variety of Real Life Stories Christian Testimony books to
minister to people in different professions and positions in life, right where
they are.Reallifestoriesbooks.com.
This
is a greater and more effective way of spreading the gospel than just praying
for people as you go.
I
was born the youngest of five children. My sisters and brothers were much older
than me. My father died when I was two years old. My mother worked very hard as
a waitress, often times, at two different restaurants to support us. My
brothers left for the Air Force right out of high school. My sisters helped a
lot around the house and were very good to me. However, I was influenced as a
small child by their peers to use alcohol and pot.
From
a young age, I was very spoiled. I was used to getting anything that I wanted.
My mother would give me material things to make up for being gone. There were
no rules set and no one to discipline me. My behavior was out of control, and I
was expelled from two private elementary schools.
When
I was 11 years old, my mom was remarried and we moved to a new home. Shortly
after, my step father took his own life. This tragic event left me alone again
while my mother was working. I was hanging with the wrong crowd, mostly older
kids, at the local pool hall. I began gambling, drinking, light drug use,
smoking, and having sex. I even began selling drugs to other kids. I lost all
interest in school and only desired to become a pro pool player and party with
my friends. Real Life Stories Books bring Hope and
Encouragement into all of Life s Storms.
I
dropped out of high school after 9th grade. My interest was in staying out all
night with friends. Often, I did not come home. I began to get in trouble with
the law and ended up in jail on more than one occasion. I was placed on
juvenile probation, and I spent time in drug rehab. I would have violent fits
of anger at home and would either get kicked out or run away. I slept at
friends’ houses, at hotels, and in cars. I even spent many nights sleeping
outside when I had nowhere else to go. I worked off and on doing construction
and other jobs to make money, but I never stayed on the same job for long.
When
I was 19, I pulled into a car lot with a girl I was dating and acted like I was
going to buy a car. The sales manager was a man by the name of Roland. I did
not know at the time, but he was also a minister. I didn’t have two nickels to
rub together, and I did not buy a car. I did, however, convince him to give me
a job as a car salesman. I was eager to learn this new profession, and it
seemed to be a perfect fit. Just like playing pool for money, I got a rush out
of selling cars and a feeling of self-worth and accomplishment in doing it.
There
was a lot of downtime at that little car lot, so besides teaching me about the
car business, Pastor Roland begin to share his faith in God with me. It was the
first time I was exposed to the Word of God, and Roland was the first example
of a real Christian man that I had ever encountered.
Soon
after I started working, I was invited to a “Heaven’s Gates and Hell’s Flames”
play at a local church. I answered the altar call for salvation. At 19 years
old, standing there in that church, I felt the presence of God like never
before. The Holy Spirit convicted me that I was a horrible sinner and in need
of a savior. I repented and asked Jesus to come into my heart. I got saved! I
was very excited and couldn’t wait to tell people what had happened! I went to
church on and off for a period of time, and I began to read the Bible. I
claimed to be a Christian, but like the fig tree there was no fruit. Because of
my own selfish, fleshly desires I slid away from God and went back to a
destructive lifestyle. 1 Corinthians 10:12 “Therefore let him who thinks he
stands take heed lest he fall”.
I
was confident in my sales ability, and I applied at a large volume car
dealership in Chicago. The excessive amount of money I made there contributed
to cycles of partying. Girls, bars, and drugs were the nightly norm. I became
heavily addicted to cocaine and other hard drugs. I would make up elaborate
stories to get women to sleep with me. I told so many lies; I didn’t even know
who I really was. Soon my cocaine addiction turned into a crack addiction. I
hopped from car dealership to car dealership. I lost jobs, ruined
relationships, and almost overdosed on drugs several times. The long hours and
partying were beginning to take their toll. A door was opened in my career to
be a traveling car salesman for big event sales. I had all the right
connections to become very successful by the world’s standards. I had
multi-millionaire investors that helped me start profitable businesses, but I
always messed up, blew the money, and lost my focus.
My
career led me to Arkansas where I met the love of my life. Right off the bat,
she said, “You don’t have to lie to me.” She knew who I was. I did not have her
fooled because she was living the same life that I was. She truly loved and
accepted me for who I really was! I shared my faith in God with her, and on
occasion we would attend church. We had a son together, but I soon turned to
crystal meth. At some point, my girlfriend had enough. She began to seek the
Lord through His Word and cry out to Him for help. She felt like the Lord told
her to pack up and move us back to my hometown in Indiana.
We
did move to Indiana but continued to take prescription drugs. My girlfriend had
an Adderall overdose, and she called the police. The next thing I knew, the
state was present and they took our kids away from us. My girlfriend’s daughter
was sent to her dad in Arkansas, and my son was sent to my mother’s house for
almost a year. We got married, and my wife submitted herself to God. She was
set free of drugs indefinitely. I continued drug use when I was away on
business. Two days before the state returned our son, I had a drug relapse. By
the grace of God, my son was returned to my wife. Stories of Hope
A
few months later I flew to Seattle, Washington on a business trip. While I was
there, I had an overwhelming urge to get high. I found a place where I could
buy crystal meth. I borrowed a business associate’s rental car then went to
purchase the drug. I had a horrible feeling inside that this was all wrong and
I should definitely not do it. The urge was too strong, and what happened next
completely changed my life. I proceeded to get high and almost instantly felt
the presence of evil all around me. I was scared and paranoid. I drove through
the Canadian border thinking that it was a toll plaza. I ended up in a high
speed pursuit with police chasing me from every side. I ran from them for
miles. The police stopped my car with road spikes. They broke all the windows
out of the car, violently pulled me out, and held me at gunpoint. It was only
by the grace of God that I was not killed that night!
The
Canadian police took me to the hospital. The doctors had to medicate me to slow
down my heartrate. They told me I was lucky that I did not overdose. I spent
the night in the hospital, and then the police escorted me to the local jail.
There I was alone, in complete despair, facing several felony charges and the
loss of my family. I remember feeling guilty for all the bad things I had done
in my life and all I had put my wife and family through. Here I was locked up
in a jail cell, in a foreign country, while my wife was at home pregnant with
our daughter! I fell to my knees and cried to the Lord wholeheartedly. I
repented and asked God for forgiveness. I promised Him that if He would once
again get me out of this mess, I would serve Him every day for the rest of my
life. This time, I meant it! A couple of days later, I went to court and found
favor with the judge. They released me, and I flew home.
I
became a completely new creation! 2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore, if anyone is
in Christ he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold all things
have become new.”
This
time, I meant business! When I got home I finally held to my word with God.
After years of rebellion and chasing after my own selfish desires, I gave up. I
surrendered my will over to God and began to wholeheartedly seek His will for
my life. I changed my job, the places I hung out, and the people that I spent
time with. I separated myself from anyone who was living a sinful lifestyle. I
surrounded myself with people who loved God and kept themselves from sin. I
prayed, read the Bible, and went to church regularly. I grew to love God and to
know Him as the loving father that I had always been searching for.
My
own heart’s desires began to change from the selfish pursuit of obtaining
material wealth to the desire to serve God and to serve others at all costs. My
entire outlook on life has changed. I have come to realize that everything I
went through in life was to bring God glory and to testify of His greatness,
His mercy, and His grace. I am grateful that the Lord never left me. He stood
by my side through every storm in life, and I know for certain now that He
always will be by my side. The Bible says that God will never leave you nor
forsake you.
Years
have gone by, and I am completely set free from all addictions. I no longer
live in the bondage of sin. God has not only restored all that I lost in life,
He has added every single blessing that you can imagine. I share my life with a
beautiful, loyal, loving woman who also shares the same desire to serve God. My
wife is my best friend and soulmate. We have been blessed with two happy,
healthy children. Our house is full of love and definitely full of God.
Everyone that has known me can see a tremendous positive transformation in my
life, and I praise God for that!
My
career is going better than ever, and we have been blessed financially. God
always prospers everything that my hand is put to do. Since making Jesus Christ
the Lord of my life, things have never been better, and I truly lack nothing!
Matthew 6:33 “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all
these things shall be added to you.”
For salvation that comes from trusting Christ --- which is what we preach --- is already within easy reach of each of us; in fact, it is as near as our own hearts and mouths. For if you tell others with your own mouth that Jesus Christ is your Lord, and believe in your own heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in his heart that a man becomes right with God; and with his mouth he tells others of his faith, confirming his salvation. For the Scriptures tell us that no one who believes in Christ will ever be disappointed. Jew and Gentile are the same in this respect; they all have the same Lord who generously gives his riches to all those who ask him for them. Anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved.

In my sophomore year of high school, I started to drink and party. One beer turned to smoking pot. I started to bar hop and get deep into rock and roll music. Between the years of 14-24, I just loved to get drunk and party. My girlfriend was pregnant, we married and we had a daughter, Jennifer. Her mother left me shortly after that. The next three years of my life were lost years. I had no idea of my purpose in life. I played and loved baseball. I tried out for a major league, but I wasn’t good enough to make a living out of it.
At age 21, I started going to different race tracks. It was then that I started gambling and betting on horses. This was the worst time of my life. I loved the high of winning and seeing your horse cross the finish line. But every time I bet, I lost 90% of the time. Even when I won, I would lose the money the next day. I would lose my whole paycheck on those Friday nights and would scrape through the week. Some weeks I would go 6 days a week.
I would remember leaving the race track in 1979 with no money. I started crying out to God. I constantly would think, what is wrong with me? I didn’t realize that God was dealing with me. I know now that the Holy Spirit was showing me the way out of my mess.
God was creating in me a clean heart and renewing in me a right spirit.
I started hating what I was doing and just started begging God to change my life and help me. I got so sick and tired of my life style. I started hating the bar life and partying. I was tired of getting drunk all the time and being high on drugs. The gambling addiction had messed me up so bad, I never had money. Then, one day I saw this church that I drove by 9 months earlier. I said, I am going to give up this life of sin and I am going to serve God 100%. That week-end I went to the race track that last time and had my last beer. That Sunday morning I went to that church and totally surrendered my life to Jesus Christ. I was ready to live like the apostles of old. God’s presence was guiding me and preparing me for a divine appointment with Him. I renounced all my wicked ways. I asked God to deliver me from addictions of gambling, drugs and drinking. I remember just crying and crying because God was totally changing my life. Three days later, a scripture just lifted up my heart. It said, “If any man be in Christ he is a new creation.” I used to always wonder about when people would say, “Are you saved?” I now know what they meant. Old things passed away! For me, that meant drinking, gambling, drugs.
February 2, 1980 Sunday morning, Oh what a day! That was the day when I made an absolute surrender to God. I gave my life to Jesus and I experienced a new life in Christ. Old things passed away and all things became new. I use to wonder about that phrase, “born again “what did that mean? I loved God, grew up in a beautiful Christian home, but I had no idea what born again was all about. I knew about God but to have a real relationship, I never knew. I did not know a life like this could exist.
It’s been 35 years now and I have never gone back to those old ways. I now go around sharing the new and everlasting Christian Books of Jesus Christ. That sinner, you don’t have to sin anymore! Jesus saves from sin, sickness, and death! Jesus came to restore our lives! God Bless you as you read this and may you find God our Father through Jesus Christ by His power and the wonder working presence of His Holy Spirit. And Jesus would say to you, “Come unto me! Only believe and I will give and show you everlasting life. Behold! I am with you! Ron – Whiting, Indiana 773-704-2441 , Real Life Stories .

Real Life Stories
Christian Testimony Books are helping Christians Overcome the Fear
of Sharing Their Faith!
Hi Jim and Carla,
I started passing out Real Life
Stories Christian Testimony
books in April 2019. I have given away hundreds of books , and have only
had three people refuse a book. One person was honest she had a
different belief about who Jesus is. The other two just said no thanks.
Some Christians, remind me there are different ways to
witness.
A few Christians have said they were interested in passing out books. I
tell them your contact information is in the book.
The Mission Continues!!! I no longer have fear
of rejection or concerns about what others think about how I live my faith. I, Thank the Lord for
this Break Through !!
Christian testimony is the description of the journey of someone's life that how he converted to Christianity and how Jesus influence his life. Testimony includes the lesson of life that helps a person to believe in God. It may be a miracle that happens in the life of a person and all of his problems are solved. Testimonies are very influential for new believers and non-believers due to the changing of life after believing Jesus. Christian testimony includes the problems in life and their solution after believing and praying to Jesus.
You should tell your testimony by telling the problems you were facing before meeting Jesus. What were that problems and how much time you fail to solve these problems? Then you will tell that how you get closer to Jesus. What is the reason that you decided to consider Jesus for your help? At last, you should share the part of life after meeting Jesus that how Jesus change your life. You should share that how is your living going now. Evangelism is the process of campaigning faith in Christianity. In evangelism, people share the gospel for preaching the impact of Jesus on life. There are a lot of evangelism strategies that include evangelism by spreading the bibles and gospel by media or road evangelism. If you want to preach Christianity then choose the best evangelism methods. Evangelism is the best way to describe your love and affection with god and if you want to be an evangelist then follow these evangelism ideas:
If you want to be a good evangelist then pray for others during evangelism because prayer enhances the spiritual attraction. So prayer is the good evangelism tool.
If you want to preach your faith then try to share your own experience if the life that how your life changed after meeting Jesus.
If you want that other people should start believing Jesus then show them the influence of Jesus in your life and how Jesus solves your problems.
If you have good communication skills then it will be very helpful for you to preach your faith. Testimony is a good evangelism tool for preaching the faith.
You should share the current situation of your life and how is your life going after knowing Jesus.
In the 20th century, the child evangelism movement was started. The purpose of this movement is the preaching of testimony and gospel to children of 4 to 14 years. The power team was established in 1970 which consist of some Christian athlete that spread the message of God for salvation. The advanced evangelism method is preaching faiths by traveling in far areas and by a conversation on the internet.
