about us or what man thinks about us??
What is the worst thing that can happen to
us when we share our faith?
They can kill us and send us to heaven!! Is
that such a bad thing??!!!!!!!!!

AFRAID OF LOSING A
FRIEND
 If I would die and go to heaven and my friend
would die and go to hell, what kind of
friendship do we have?
 If we are not eternal friends, are we really
friends at all?
 “Mark is the only friend that I have got that is
into this whole God and religion thing.”
 “You are the only friend that I have got that
cares where my soul spends eternity.”
 When they see and hear the love of Jesus
coming from you, you will have more friends
than you know what to do with!!
THEY HAVE ALREADY
HEARD
• Repetition is very valuable when it comes to
witnessing.
• This might be the perfect time for them.
• Phipps, Galleria
I DON’T KNOW HOW TO
Didn’t someone lead you to Jesus??
Notes we have given you
Transition with someone: Can I ask you an
interesting question? Can I ask you a tough
question?
Go natural to supernatural!!
Luke 12:12 says, “For the Holy Spirit will
teach you in that very hour what you ought
to say.”
I AM JUST LAZY
How do you think God feels when I say I am lazy, but
multitudes of people die and go to hell every single day??
As a Christian, what is more important than seeing
your school, your city, your state, your country, your
world coming to the saving knowledge of Jesus
Christ?
CHARLES SPURGEON
The saving of souls, if a man has once
gained love to perishing sinners and his
blessed Master, will be an all-absorbing
passion to him. It will so carry him away,
that he will almost forget himself in the
saving of others. He will be like the brave
fireman, who cares not for the scorch or
the heat, so that he may rescue the poor
creature on whom true humanity has set
his heart.
CHARLES SPURGEON
If you never have sleepless hours, if you never
have weeping eyes, if your hearts never swell as
if they would burst, you need not anticipate that
you will be called zealous. You do not know the
beginning of true zeal, for the foundation of
Christian zeal lies in the heart. The heart must
be heavy with grief and yet must beat high with
holy ardor. The heart must be vehement in
desire, panting continually for God’s glory, or
else we shall never attain to anything like the
zeal which God would have us know.
FRIENDSHIP EVANGELISM
• They can see it in me. 1 John 2:6 says, “Whoever
claims to live in Him(Jesus) must walk as Jesus did.”
• Now if they are looking at me, whose life are you
sharing?
• Yours or God’s??
• Once you say that you are a Christian, they will
watch everything that you do.
• So are you sure that you want to witness by your
actions??
ROMANS 10:13-17
For whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be
saved.
How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not
believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they
have not heard? And how shall they hear without a
preacher?
And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is
written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach
the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good
things!”
But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says,
“Lord, who has believed our report?”
So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of
God.
I DON’T KNOW ENOUGH
If it was a prerequisite for us to know
enough, could anyone of us ever share
our faith??
Actually this is the one way that you will
learn the most about your faith!
You are saved and they are lost. Who
knows more in every single
conversation??!!!!!
Memorize the New Testament
Since you are saved, don’t you always
know enough to lead someone else to
Jesus?
THEY WON’T WANT TO
TALK ABOUT IT
 At the most one person a day doesn’t get into a
conversation.
 This is a crazy world we live in. Lost people
know that. They are curious to what is going
on.
 “I usually don’t talk about this topic, but you
make me feel comfortable talking about it.”
 “There are two things that I don’t talk about
with patients—religion and politics. But since
we have already started…!!”
I CAN’T ANSWER THEIR
QUESTIONS
o That is a good question, and I don’t know
the answer. Would you like to know the
answer??
o Yes! What is your email, address, phone
number…This now allows follow-up and
shows that you care.
o Let’s answer some of those tough
questions that really aren’t all that
tough!!
Can you prove that
there is a God?
You have faith, I have reason. What they are
saying is blind faith instead of calculated
faith.

Romans 1:20 “For since the creation of the
world His invisible attributes are clearly
seen, being understood by the things that
are made, even His eternal power and
Godhead, so that they are without excuse.”
How do you know
that the Bible is
true?
John 18:36 “Pilate said too Him, ‘What is
truth?’”
John 17:17 “…Your word is truth.”
II Timothy 3:16,17 “All Scripture is given by
inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine,
for reproof, for correction, for instruction in
righteousness, that the man of God may be
complete, thoroughly equipped for every good
work.”
II Peter 1:21 “for prophecy never came by the
will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they
were moved by the Holy Spirit.”

1 Corinthians 15:39 “All flesh is not the same flesh, but
there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts,
another of fish, and another of birds.”
Genesis 1:25 “And God made the beast of the earth
according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and
everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind.
And God saw that it was good.”
How can Jesus be
the only way to
God? Aren’t there
many paths to
heaven?

John 14:6 “Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth,
and the life. No one comes to the Father except
through Me.’”
Acts 4:12 “Nor is there salvation in any other, for
there is no other name under heaven given among men
by which we must be saved.”
Isaiah 45:22 “Look to Me, and be saved, All you ends
of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other.”
1 Timothy 2:5 “For there is one God and one
Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ
Jesus.”
How did Cain get
his wife?
He married a distant relative.
I don’t believe in Hell,
so there can’t be one.
It doesn’t matter what you believe,
it matters what is true.
Unbelief doesn’t change reality.
Remind them to always search for
truth, and not for something to
believe in.
Doesn’t the bible say
that it is reincarnation
when we die?
Hebrews 9:27 “And as it is
appointed for men to die once, but
after this the judgment.”
Job 16:22 “Only a few years will
pass, before I go on the journey of no
return.”
Can God create a Rock
big enough that even
He can’t lift?
NO!!
Remember there are plenty of things
God can’t do, but that doesn’t mean
that He isn’t God. It just means it is
outside of His character.
When I am old, I will
become a Christian.
Can you guarantee me that you are going
to wake up tomorrow morning??
2 Corinthians 6:2 “…Behold, now is the
accepted time; behold, now is the day of
salvation.”
How can there be a
God when there is so
much evil and
suffering in the
world?
Actually when I see all of the evil in the
world, it shows me that there must be an allloving God waiting on us when we walk out
of here.
Remember that love by definition demands a
choice.
What about the person
in Africa that has
never heard the
gospel? Is he
condemned to hell?
If you are that concerned about the people
in Africa, why don’t you commit your
heart to Jesus and go reach the people in
Africa?
Titus 2:11 “For the grace of God that
brings salvation has appeared to all men.”
God is a righteous and fair judge.
Bring the question right back to them.
There are so many
religions, so how do I
know which one is the
right one?
Religion is man striving to get right with
God by his own effort. In the east they lay
on beds of nails, and in the west we sit on
hard pews! We try to bribe God with our
works.
Ephesians 2:8-10 “For by grace you have
been saved through faith, and that not of
yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works,
lest anyone should boast.
For we are His workmanship, created in
Christ Jesus for good works, which God
prepared beforehand that we should walk in
them.”
RESURRECTION!!
CHARLES SPURGEON
Do you want arguments for soul winning?
Look up to heaven, and ask yourself how sinners
can ever reach those harps of gold and learn that
everlasting song, unless they have someone to tell
them of Jesus, who is mighty to save. But the best
arguments of all is to be found in the wounds of
Jesus. You want to honor Him, you desire to put
many crowns upon His head, and this you can best
do by winning souls for Him. These are the spoils
that He covets, these are the trophies for which He
fights, these are the jewels that shall be His best
adornment.
