Conversational Evangelism

January 26, 2010 3 Comments

“Those who had been scattered preached the word wherever they went” (Acts 8:4).

Conversational evangelism may be one of the easiest and most effective ways to share our faith in Christ. Think about it! How many conversations do you have in a day? Ten? Twenty? Fifty? Just think about the incredible possibilities if they were used to bring up spiritual things.

Consider how Jesus changed a conversation about physical water into a discussion about spiritual water (John 4:7-30). Reflect on how a simple question resulted in a man’s conversion (Acts 8:30). Notice how a legal defense provided a platform to witness for Jesus (Acts 22-26) or how a storm at sea allowed one to share his faith in God (Acts 27:13-44).

Conversational evangelism is easy and practical. It is something every member of the body of Christ can do. It concentrates on planting seeds of truth in our everyday conversations confidently knowing that God provides growth (1 Corinthians 3:6).

Grace and Peace,
