How Ordinary Christians Can Share The Extraordinary Gospel

Less than 5% of Christians share the Gospel with one person per year. 76% of Christians do not know the mission of the Church (The Great Commission). But why? The short answer, many Christians are unequipped and untrained to share their faith. In addition, the church has taught us to outsource our evangelism to the professional pastors—simply invite your friends to church on Sunday and we will do it for you.

However, is this biblical instruction? Is this process that’s so popular in the West see anywhere in Scripture? No. That said, in this episode, Dale and Veronica look at the Bible’s expectation for sharing the Gospel.
